Dowson Achieves SafeContractor Accreditation

Safe Contractor Approved Blog Post

At Dowson Food Machinery, we have always believed that quality engineering goes hand-in-hand with uncompromising safety standards. Today, we are proud to announce that our commitment to excellence has been officially recognised with the Alcumus SafeContractor accreditation.

What is SafeContractor?

SafeContractor is a leading third-party accreditation scheme that recognises extremely high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors. To achieve the certificate, Dowson Food Machinery underwent a rigorous vetting process, examining our health and safety procedures, risk assessments, and our track record for safe practice on-site.

Why it matters to our clients?

For over 40 years, we have supplied the UK’s leading bakery group with our famous slicers, baggers and dough handling equipment. Our clients operate in fast-paced, high-output environments where there is zero margin for error regarding safety.

By achieving SafeContractor status, we are providing our partners with:

  • Peace of Mind: Confidence that every Dowson engineer on your site operates under the highest safety protocols.
  • Reduced Risk: Independent verification that our internal processes meet the latest legal and industry-specific requirements.
  • Efficiency: As a SafeContractor-approved partner, we help streamline the pre-qualification process for new projects, saving our clients time and paperwork.

“Safety has always been at the heart of our British-built machinery,” says Bill Alcock, Managing Director.

“This accreditation isn’t just a badge on our website, it is a testament to the hard work of our team and our dedication to protecting our staff and our customers’ teams during every installation and service visit.”

As we continue to innovate within the bakery industry, from our new paper bagging solutions to our high-speed slicing engines, we remain committed to being the safest, most reliable partner in the food machinery sector.
