Get seen. Get heard. Get involved.

The Safer Ironmongery Initiative by Iron Out aims to bring visibility & clarity to issues surrounding ironmongery.

It's no secret that I want to inspire collective action to address safety related challenges in ironmongery. But does this mean you have to spend to contribute and make a positive impact? Of course not! Businesses can absolutely independently make impactful changes and champion them on their own terms...and should be encouraged to do so!

The initiative is a service offered by Iron Out to co-ordinate the shared narrative of promoting ironmongery safety. 

It's for joining forces to convey a visibly unified message that demonstrates care and responsibility and benefits all.

Changing Culture

We've been hearing a lot about the urgent need for a cultural shift, behaviours around competence and CPD improvement for good reason...and all steps towards a safer built environment, are steps in the right direction. 

Because culture is a shared experience, the importance of unity and common goals cannot be overstated. Generating visible change is crucial, especially in an industry where product safety is paramount. Driven by ethical behaviour, we can unite in asking 'what can we do to help?' and lead by example of the behaviours we want to see change.

Doubling Down on Due Diligence

In the first instance, Iron Out aims to raise awareness through the initiative by engaging with various associations & key stakeholders, ensuring they have clarity on what architectural ironmongery is, understanding where due diligence is required and what resources are available. This however poses its own challenge.

For those that become, or are already aware that due diligence is required, the next natural thing for them to ask is 'how would I check'?

"Don't just tell me...show me!"

This is why it becomes necessary for advocates that supply ironmongery to take visible action & be active participants in contributing; a directory will be used as part of the awareness messaging and for demonstrating both transparency and clarity.

The pre-requisite for advocates to feature, is to make due diligence accessible to stakeholders, showing on a single page how to verify product, professional, or organisational claims. This can be via a web page link or document, and will be seen on each directory listing.

Only £349 + VAT for a 12 month period
