CHAS & SSIP Accreditation
Safety Schemes In Procurement (SSIP) is the umbrella organisation set up to facilitate mutual recognition between health and safety assessment schemes wherever it is practicable to do so.
​
There are over 40 SSIP registered member schemes currently and the Deemed to Satisfy arrangement means that a company is only required to undergo a full health and safety assessment with one scheme. Other schemes will then offer registration recognising that the required standard has already been achieved.
​
CHAS is one of a number of health and safety assessment schemes available to businesses and is probably the most well known, being one of the first third-party accreditation schemes in the construction sector, and often acts as a type of pre-qualification during the tender process.
​
As their Competent Person, many of our clients in both construction and non-construction, employ us to assist in the compilation of their annual SSIP renewal paperwork. This entails a review of their H&S documentation and systems and the progress made in the last 12 months. We then facilitate the completion of application forms and assist with the accreditation process.
​
We have maintained a 100% client pass rate for the past eight years for CHAS, SMAS and Safe Contractor applications.
​
We offer several online courses that can support your CHAS application (or any SSIP application).
