Industry Awards – SafeHire certification and Gas Safe Register

We’ve achieved added recognition of our business performance, with the addition of the pan-European SafeHire certification and membership of the Gas Safe Register. The awards join an established line-up that includes Refcom and ISO registration.

The SafeHire certification is awarded by the Hire Association Europe. The scheme has been developed with the assistance of BSI and the HSE to certify an organisation’s ability to deliver the highest standards of service to customers, in a risk-free and environmentally friendly way.

To cater for growing demand for boiler hire, the leading temperature control solutions provider has also joined the Gas Safe Register.

Keith Holroyd, QHSE Manager, at ICS Cool Energy, comments: “As a business, we recognise that delivering excellence relies not only on the skill of our people but also on having policies and procedures in place that provide a framework for us to achieve that.

“These latest additions to our certifications and accreditations provide further assurance that businesses can rely on us to provide high performance, energy efficient temperature control solutions that keep their business running. Whether it’s with rental equipment, capital sales and service or frequently a combination of all three,” he said.

ICS Cool Energy provides fully integrated total solutions through its pan-European divisional operations and international partners. It also has one of the most extensive hire fleets in the UK, available for long term hire for businesses preferring to minimise capital equipment investments, short term hire for seasonal spikes as well as emergency breakdown cover.

In addition to the SafeHire certification, ICS Cool Energy’s hire division is also now able to offer Gas Safe Register installations, which means reduced installation times as a third party subcontractor is no longer needed to verify the connection.

Keith Holroyd added: “The demand for boiler rentals has significantly increased in recent years, particularly in the farming and agricultural sector during the autumn and winter. While we have a significant fleet of oil boilers, some customers do require gas, which is why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to join the Gas Safe Register, through our service engineers. This will help streamline installations and ensure we can get our customers’ gas boiler rentals up and running as quickly as possible.”
