Why do I need CHAS Accreditation?

So Clients can assess a contractors health & safety standards, particularly compliance to the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM), the HSE and construction industry produced a consistent set of questions to assess health and safety compliance, and appointed the organisation Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) to accredit certification bodies to undertake the assessments.

There are several of these schemes including CHAS (Contractors Health And Safety Assessment Scheme) which is particularly favoured by local authorities, SafeContractor, Acclaim and others. Each scheme follow identical processes. Many Buyers require you to have an SSIP certificate as a prequalification to tender, so it is essential that you hold the accreditation.
