SAFEcontractor is a health & safety accreditation scheme for contractors. It simplifies the process of demonstrating to clients that health & safety policies and procedures are in place. Clients have a legal obligation to ensure that contractors operate in a safe way. There is a need to assess contractors' health & safety arrangements, and increasingly this is being carried out through the SAFEcontractor scheme. Many large organisations now use SAFEcontractor as their primary means of selecting contractors.

QHS are a corporate member of the 'British Institute of Cleaning Science' (BICSc), and our cleaning methods and techniques all comply with their standards and 'best practice' guidelines.

Founded in 1961, its mission is to 'raise status and standards of the cleaning industry, through education'. This institute’s reach and influence is global.

At QHS we have taken our first step towards declaring our commitment to the environment by registering with Green Achiever Scheme developed by E4 Environment. In a nut shell this scheme was set up to highlight companies that are implementing change in order to reduce their impact on the environment. The Green Achiever scheme provides a great reason to network with other businesses, and is a very positive step forward with realistic, sustainable targets set by us that our customers and suppliers can understand.”

On 1 December 2007, 1&1 Internet started to supply all European data centres and most office locations with electrical power from renewable resources such as wind, water, or solar energy. 1&1's past and present electrical power provider Stadtwerke Karlsruhe will supply both its own 'green' power and will buy additional energy from other suppliers within the Renewable Energy Certificate System, RECS. 1&1's involvement helps to save about 30,000 tons of CO2.

In order to offer customers an assured standard of service QHS are vigorously trying to improve the quality assurance and process for our customers. Having become members of appropriate schemes our priority now is to work towards achieving the ultimate quality standard ISO 9001 this year.
