What is Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) accreditation ?

The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) is a pre-approval scheme, which allows contractors to demonstrate to potential clients that they meet the required health and safety standards.

CHAS assesses:

  • Your Health & Safety Policy Statement
  • Your organisation of your health and safety
  • Your specific health and safety arrangements to a standard which is acceptable to CHAS’s buyers and to others.

Another reason that companies apply to become CHAS accredited is getting work with Local Authorities, hospitals, universities, schools and larger construction companies. It is usually required by these types of clients, as it proves to them that the contractor is professional and safety conscious. By completing the CHAS accreditation, many companies are then considered an approved contractor, so will continue to work on these kinds of sites and securing themselves more work for the future.
