Proud to Announce: Heyn Engineering & Heyn Forktrucks Achieve Alcumus SafeContractor Accreditation

We are delighted to share that Heyn Engineering and Heyn Forktrucks have successfully achieved accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor, a recognised mark of excellence in health & safety compliance. This milestone reflects our unwavering dedication to delivering services of the highest standard, protecting our teams, and building customer confidence.

Why this accreditation matters:

Working with a contractor who holds SafeContractor accreditation means much more than ticking a box. Here are some of the key reasons why this accreditation is important, and what it signals for our clients:

Rigorous compliance and risk management

By undergoing the Alcumus independent assessment, Heyn has demonstrably met important standards in health & safety, ethics, and supplier/contractor management.

Transparency & trust

Accreditation means clients know they’re working with a partner who has gone through assessment against recognised standards (including SSIP, PAS 91 etc).

Operational assurance for our customers

For our clients – whether in engineering, materials-handling or warehousing – the environment can involve significant risk (lifting equipment, forklift trucks, maintenance works, etc.). By being accredited, Heyn offers peace of mind that our processes and controls are aligned with best practice.

Competitive assurance and value

Many clients (especially in regulated industries) now require or strongly prefer contractors with formal accreditation. That means by holding this credential, we can better support tendering, ensure smoother onboarding and compliance for our clients, and reduce administrative burden for them.

Continuous improvement

Credible accreditation is not a one-time event; it drives monitoring, auditing, and improvement. This means our customers benefit from an organisation committed to raising the bar, not just maintaining the status quo.

What this means for Heyn Engineering & Heyn Forktrucks’ customers:

When you engage us for crane & hoist services, lifting & rigging, forktruck sales/hire/maintenance, you get the additional confidence that our safety systems, processes, and credentials have been independently verified.
We will integrate our SafeContractor-driven standards into every project: from site surveys, to risk assessments, to scheduled maintenance, and after-sales servicing.
It streamlines the compliance side of working with us: fewer questions, fewer procurement hurdles, and quicker mobilisation for your projects.
It reinforces our commitment: we’re not just focused on delivering the job, we’re focused on delivering it safely, reliably, and to the highest standard of professionalism.
At Heyn, we already have a strong legacy (for example, our work around thorough examinations of forklift trucks and lifting equipment), and now with SafeContractor accreditation, we are raising the bar even further.
We will continue to refine our systems, expand our training, invest in our people and technology, and focus on delivering value, safety, and high-quality outcomes for our clients.

If you’re working in warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, or any operation involving lifting, materials handling, or industrial equipment, we invite you to reach out. Let’s talk about how our accredited services can support your business safely and effectively.

Here’s to many safe, successful projects ahead.
