On Why Your Business Benefits from CHAS Certification
CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is one of the UK’s most widely recognised health and safety assessment schemes, which is used to demonstrate a company’s health and safety competence and compliance.
It acts as a pre-qualification tool, with many buyers now requiring a CHAS accreditation as a requirement to tender.
By achieving this accreditation, not only are you ensuring you meet legal requirements and standards, you are more likely to win contracts and clients - making your business stand out from the competition!
3 Levels of CHAS - What’s the Difference
CHAS Standard:
Covers basic health and safety compliance, showing your business meets core legal requirements.
Ideal for companies looking to demonstrate fundamental safety management to clients.
CHAS Advanced:
Goes beyond health and safety, including environmental, quality, and financial checks.
Best for businesses seeking broader compliance to win more complex or public sector contracts.
CHAS Elite:
Offers the most comprehensive assessment, covering PAS 91 and SSIP plus additional risk management.
Perfect for companies aiming for the highest level of pre-qualification and supply chain assurance.
Why Your Business will benefit from CHAS
Reassures potential clients and buyers that you prioritise health and safety – helping to boost your business’s credibility.
Saves time – reduced administrative work due to completing a single annual CHAS assessment rather than filling out lengthy questionnaires for every application - speeding up the process.
Greater opportunity to win work that might not have been possible beforehand – opens new doors and wider possibilities.
Reduces risk – lots of larger organisations prefer working with certified contractors as it emphasises reliability and professionalism within the business, allowing them to feel more confident in your processes from the beginning.
Competitive Advantage - get in with the more competitive, higher value projects and valuable long-term contracts.
