What is CHAS certification, and why do I need it?
CHAS, or the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme as it is known in its proper form, is a significant scheme promoting the benefits of effective Health and Safety within industries and business.
The CHAS certification or certificate for accreditation is meant for consultants and contractors who apply for work with private and public sector organisations. The Accreditation Certificate is valid for a period of 12 months from the last date of assessment stating as compliant. Maintaining the certification requires the supplier to be assessed on an annual basis.
The benefits to suppliers
The purpose of CHAS certification is to assist buyers as well as suppliers in the process of health and safety competence assessment. Being CHAS certified minimises duplication as prospective clients accept the compliance of the supplier. This can save a company hours of form filling for Health and Safety purposes with many different customers.
It makes it easy for potential clients to gain an insight into your working standards too, in terms of health and safety. Some buyers may require the suppliers to be CHAS certified or accredited before allowing a tender as well as they are likely to enquire for a copy of the CHAS certification as an evidence, so having one can certainly help win new business, especially for large corporate clients. CHAS also guides the supplier through any flaws in safety management, thereby helping them to improve. This commitment to consistent improvement of standards can be very attractive to client.

Demonstrating standards, improving performance - Constructionline
Constructionline is a Government run scheme. Each month thousands of contractors apply for work with public and private sector organisations. In order to be awarded the relevant contract, the companies and individuals applying must meet health and safety standards.
To avoid each individual contract having to assess individual suppliers health and safety competence, the Constructionline Scheme has been developed. Upon becoming Constructionline approved, duplication is reduced as all Constructionline buyers accept proof of competence.
Constructionline is the UK’s largest register of contractors for the construction industry. With over 8,000 key decision-makers from over 2,000 buying organisations using Constructionline to select quality suppliers, it's a great tool to gain new work opportunities.
Constructionline assesses applicants on their health and safety policy statement, their organisation and how it deals with health and safety and their specific health and safety arrangements. This means that everyone will work to an acceptable standard. All members of the Constructionline scheme are stored on a database which is accessible by members only.
