Accreditations

CHAS (The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) was created by experienced health and safety professionals in 1997 to improve health and safety standards across the UK.

In partnership with the Association of London Government (ALG), CHAS was a key developer of the core criteria held in the Approved Code of Practice which supported the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (now recognised as CDM 2015) and is a founder member of SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement). As one of the founders of third party accreditation we are notonly a trusted advisor on health and safety compliance, we are an authority. We set industry benchmarks, provide assurance and reassurance, and offer best-in-class services that are easy to use and cost effective.

Our operatives are all time served experienced tradespeople, they are all CSCS card holders. We have a thorough assessment process to evaluate competence. We have sponsored a number of our key personnel through SMSTSS/SSSTS.

We insist that all scaffolding is erected and amended by PASMA qualified personnel.

MEWP operators will have to hold a valid IPAF registration.
