About

Bagnalls, one of the country's leading painting, decorating and coatings contractors is delighted to announce its strategic partnership with Reset Certification Scheme Limited, the competence management solutions provider.
Bagnalls were first approached by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust to join the Reset scheme and it has to be said that, initially, there was a feeling of scepticism as to the uniqueness of the card.  As members of a wide range of accreditation schemes Bagnalls thought that this was yet another registration that had to be achieved in order to work for the Trust.  It was therefore decided to only put a few operatives through the Reset Individual process and the Leeds branch through the Reset Company accreditation.  

It wasn't long before Bagnalls started to receive further requests from other customers to comply with the Reset scheme and it was soon realised how Reset could also help the company comply with HSE and CDM legislation by demonstrating that employees are competent and qualified for their roles.  For these key reasons it was decided to roll out the Reset Certification Scheme on a national basis and make all employees Reset Individual Cardholders.
One of Bagnalls key differentiating factors is that the company directly employs all its operatives.  However, demonstrating the individual competence of operatives, to a wide range of customers, has often been a logistical challenge.  
Now customers, who have Verifier status, can check the qualifications and competences of any cardholder due to attend site.  They can view their individual profile and see original copies of each and every certificate on screen, in a matter of minutes, using the Reset website or their Smartphone App.
David Sunderland, Bagnalls Group Technical and Training Manager has led the Reset process and said "As a contractor, we have a commitment to continuously invest in the long term training and development of our employees.  The automated notification system provided by Reset provides an ideal training tracker, by alerting us with timely reminders of when individuals’ competences are expiring. It allows us to schedule the required training in line with our work schedule to ensure that we continue to deliver high levels of customer service with a skilled and competent workforce."

Gary Duce, Reset's Managing Director commented "We are proud to work with Bagnalls on a national basis.  Our systems allow Bagnalls to demonstrate the skills and competences of each of their directly employed operatives in an efficient and cost effective manner.  Bagnalls' customers benefit from knowing that they have complied with their legal obligations by checking the competence of contractors attending site."  

Moreover, Bagnalls is committed to delivering the highest levels of health and safety, reflected by Bagnalls receiving a fifth consecutive Gold RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) award in 2014. It was therefore decided to also register each branch of Bagnalls as members of the Reset Company Certification Scheme.  Reset Company provides a quick and simple way to carry out full pre-qualification procedures online and also provides continual monitoring of the company's status.  Reset monitors and tracks everything from insurances to waste transfer notice, making it easy for Bagnalls to keep their record current and up to date.
