What is CHAS Accreditation?

CHAS (the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is one of the UK's leading health-and-safety pre-qualification schemes for contractors. Achieving CHAS accreditation shows a business meets recognised health-and-safety standards and is often a prerequisite for tendering on public-sector and large commercial contracts. It is a founding member of SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement), so a CHAS certificate is mutually recognised by other SSIP member schemes.
