If you're not sure, we'd like to introduce you to CHAS!
What is CHAS?
CHAS (The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is a type of accreditation that proves a business's health and safety processes meet excellent standards.
It is one of the founders of assessment scheme experts SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement), which highlights just how committed they are to practice their authority as an industry expert.
Why choose the CHAS accreditation?
As a contractor, you may be aware that there are various types of accreditation schemes, with CHAS being one of the most well-known.
However, you may not fully understand what is required of each, which one is best to apply for, and how you’ll benefit by doing so.
Many accreditation schemes, such as CHAS, help contractors demonstrate that they have high standards of health and safety. This reflects positively on your business and can help you gain greater opportunities when looking for work.
What are the benefits of a CHAS accreditation?
- Shows the company is trustworthy and committed.
- Get work from local authorities such as hospitals, schools, universities and larger construction companies due to their trust in proven accreditations.
- if you have one type of SSIP-approved accreditation it’s easier to complete pre-qualification questionnaires and apply for another. This is beneficial because having multiple accreditations can make you stand out from other contractors.
