Do you need help or assistance gaining SafeContractor accreditation?

Applying for SafeContractor accreditation can be an extremely daunting task, or maybe you simply can't find the time to go through the application yourself? With questions about accidents, Risk Assessments, Method Statements, Health and Safety policy, training and employee inductions it can all seem like too much work to get that contract. Getting the right help can make the process much easier.

What is SafeContractor and how do I get it?.

SafeContractor and similar accreditation schemes are looking for evidence and information to show that you and your organisation is aware of, and acts upon your obligations according to the Health and Safety at work act 1974, and that you are working towards an achievable safety management system, such as HSG 65. That's where HS Direct Ltd can help.

I don't have Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word, what should I do?

If you don't have Microsoft Office, or Microsoft Word installed on your PC or Mac, don't worry - you can still use our products. You can get a free alternative from Open Office.

Open Office Org is open-source developed alternative to Microsoft Office, developed by a large software company called Oracle. Open Source means the company who build the software, allow 100% use of it, 100% free.

Since Open Office is specifically developed to be exactly the same as Microsoft Office, with all the same programs in the suite (Eg: Word, Excel, Access and Power Point) - it will freely open any Microsoft Office file-format. Meaning, just because a document was written in Microsoft Word, doesn't mean it can't be opened in another program. Open Office will do that, and vise versa.

To download and install Open Office;

  1. Go to www.openoffice.org.
  2. On the left hand side, click 'I want to download Open Office'. In the green box, click the main link which starts with 'Start downloading OpenOffice.org...'
    • Windows Only:When the program has downloaded, click Install and wait for the program to install.
    • MAC OSX Only:When the program has downloaded, a notification box will pop up with an arrow from the Open Office Icon to the Applications Folder in Finder, drag the icon to the Applications folder to install the program.
  4. You are now ready to use Open Office, and the documents you have purchased from us.
