Benefits of choosing a CHAS Accredited contractor

The Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) accreditation is awarded to companies that provide evidence that their health and safety processes meet an excellent standard. 

This certification provides third-party accreditation for all members to ensure that the service being provided is focused on managing risk and improving safety. 

The CHAS accreditation provides a useful benchmark for businesses when they are searching for a contractor as those with this certification are guaranteed to be compliant and have the required expertise.

In this post, we will be taking a look at some of the benefits of choosing a CHAS-accredited contractor for businesses.

Higher compliance standards

If a contractor or team is CHAS-accredited they will automatically meet the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) requirements. 

Health and safety is now a major factor that influences decisions for people searching for contractors and the CHAS accreditation helps to highlight which businesses have the correct industry-standard measures in place.

You can be assured that your contractor will meet the SKATE criteria, and have the skills, knowledge, attitude, training and experience if they have been approved by this institution. 

The businesses that are accredited will carry out every job with thought and ensure jobs are completed not only safely, but accurately. 

Increase safety on site 

As the CHAS accreditation focuses on compliance across the board, choosing an approved contractor will ensure that your premises will be safe while work is carried out. 

Safety is taken extremely seriously by all accredited contractors and careful consideration is taken for every job to ensure compliance during all stages of work.

Reduce search time

When searching for a contractor to carry out work, it can be a time-consuming process as it’s not always clear which companies have accreditations and which health and safety measures they have in place. 

A CHAS-accredited company, by nature, will follow all of the necessary health and safety regulations. This saves you time in your search as by visiting the CHAS portal you will have access to a full list of approved contractors that are compliant and have guaranteed experience and expertise.
