Other accreditations
CHAS health & safety assessment scheme
The largest scheme of its kind in the UK, CHAS was originally aimed at local authorities. It now covers other public sectors such as education authorities, charities, NHS Trusts, emergency services and housing associations.
It also includes large, private companies in construction, utilities, manufacturing, transport and distribution.
CHAS is part of Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP), which means its accreditation is recognised by other SSIP members and avoids the need for multiple accreditations.
If your business tenders for work or supply services to these sectors, or intends to do so in the future, CHAS accreditation is vital.
