CHAS, SMAS & Contructionline Accreditation

What is CHAS?

CHAS stands for Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme. CHAS is a health and safety accreditation scheme for the construction industry and often acts as a type of pre-qualification during the tender process. Some buyers will require CHAS to be gained before they will allow you to tender, and this is being seen more often in public procurement such as for councils, schools, and other public sector bodies.

The purpose of CHAS is to help both buyers (your potential clients) and suppliers (usually contractors) in the assessment of health and safety competence. CHAS can help buyers by reducing the lengthy process of assessing contractor’s health and safety standards individually. CHAS can also help contractors like you by reducing the time-consuming process of completing and submitting full details of health and safety processes on each project they compete 

Should I get CHAS accredited?

CHAS accreditation is not a legal requirement, but it can aid to verify your health and safety management system and show clients that you take the safety of your workforce seriously. Bigsunny Services will help your company to be CHAS accredited, while you focus on your business
