The Avelair team we are delighted to announce that we have once again been awarded the prestigious Alcumus SafeContractor accreditation.  This marks our eleventh consecutive year of compliance with one of the most rigorous health-and-safety certification schemes in the industry. This achievement is more than just a badge; it reflects our  commitment to compressed air health and safety and to deliver the highest standards of safety for both our engineers and our clients.

Commitment to Safety

Our core business is supplying industrial compressed air systems, but we recognise that having reliable, clean, properly-installed equipment is only half the story. The other half is ensuring that all our engineers work to the highest safety standards—from the moment they step onto a client’s site to the final commissioning of the system. Through our SafeContractor accreditation, we demonstrate that our health-and-safety management systems are robust, audited and continuously improving.

What It Means in Practice

For our clients and partners, choosing Avelair means choosing a contractor who takes compressed air health and safety seriously:

• Every engineer is trained not only in the technical aspects of compressor installation, servicing and desiccant dryer / filtration work, but also in fundamental safety disciplines: PPE, risk-assessment, working at height, chemical hazards, working safely with compressed air systems and more.

• Our safe working procedures ensure that every task is assessed to ensure it is safe to complete.

• Having SafeContractor accreditation means that our health and safety documentation, records, systems and processes have been independently assessed and meet a nationally recognised standard.

• Our culture emphasises that safety is not a one-time box-tick but an ongoing process: we continue to review, update and refine our safety management system, ensuring we stay ahead of new risks and regulatory changes.

Why “Compressed Air Health and Safety” Matters

Compressed air systems are vital for many industrial operations, but they also carry inherent risks if not properly managed. From high-pressure air, moving parts, electrical hazards, to the risks of contaminated or inadequately treated air impacting downstream processes, there are multiple facets where safety matters. By placing safety at the heart of our offering:

• Clients can have confidence that downtime and risk are minimised. Safe installation and servicing mean fewer unplanned failures and safer working environments.

• Our engineers are protected and supported. A confident workforce, properly trained and working under managed procedures, is more efficient and more effective in the field.

• Our reputation and your reputation are safeguarded. Certification like SafeContractor gives assurance to large clients and supply chains that Avelair meets stringent third-party standards—supporting procurement, insurance and contract compliance.

Looking to the Future

As we celebrate our eleventh consecutive year of accreditation, we continue to invest in training our team, refining our systems, and integrating emerging technologies and best-practice into our service and installation operations. For anyone seeking a partner in compressed air systems who truly lives the values of compressed air health and safety, Avelair remains a reliable, safe choice.
