The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) has been a trusted provider of health and safety assessments for over 35 years and is one of the UK’s leading providers of risk management and compliance services. In fact, CHAS was one of the first third-party health and safety accreditation schemes for the construction industry.
Organisations that obtain recognised industry accreditations are demonstrating to their customers and clients that they have a high standard of health & safety practices.
(CHAS) is one of the most recognisable accreditations and shows that a company meets or exceeds the high standards required.
It is awarded to contractors only when they can provide externally assessed evidence of their procedures to health and safety professionals and confirm that they show due diligence and are compliant in the procedures required by law.
Current and potential clients and customers can see that a company with CHAS accreditation has been recognised by a group of health & safety professionals for having high standards of health & safety competence. In addition, as organisations are advised to renew their certification annually, clients know that training is kept up to date.
This benefits both client and contractor. CHAS accreditation helps clients who are assessing contractors for health and safety competence to have confidence in their choice. Contractors demonstrate to clients that they are compliant in ensuring the health and safety of employees and everyone else who may be impacted by the work to be done.
Whether for a small domestic job or large commercial contracts, CHAS accreditation signals a contractor’s commitment to maintaining the required high standards of health and safety and legal compliance – loud and clear.
