Documentation Preparation:
Compile all necessary documentation, including health and safety policies, risk assessments, method statements, and evidence of ongoing staff training.

Staff Training and Engagement:
Ensure your team is well-informed about CHAS requirements and trained in health and safety best practices. Employee engagement is crucial for successful accreditation.

Implementing Health and Safety Improvements:
Based on the initial assessment, make the necessary improvements to your health and safety procedures to comply with CHAS standards.
