CHAS Accreditation
CHAS
or Contractors Health and Safety
Assessment Scheme is established
as the market leader for health
and safety pre-qualification in
the UK. It is a non-commercial
scheme available to suppliers
(those who provide goods and
services) and to organisations
(buyers) looking for suitably
competent suppliers.
Each month thousands of contractors and consultants (suppliers) apply for work with public and private sector organisations (buyers). To win work, they must meet the buyer’s health and safety standards.
Assessing suppliers health and safety competence is usually a lengthy and time consuming process. Suppliers can sometimes meet one buyer’s Health and Safety standards but not another. Being CHAS approved reduces duplication as suppliers compliance is accepted by all CHAS buyers.
