Safety Schemes In Procurement is a health and safety accreditation scheme which helps your buyers (potential clients) assess your health and safety competence. CHAS, Constructionline, Achilles and Safecontractor are all recognised SSIP (Safety Schemes In Procurement) schemes and allow your business to demonstrate compliance to Risk Management and Health and Safety standards.
The purpose of the SSIP Accreditation Schemes are to act as a prequalification accreditation which will simplify the tender or prequalification process that you may find yourself having to complete when bidding for work.
By gaining a SSIP accreditation, you will demonstrate that you have common standards in accordance with the competence assessment requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. This allows clients to have an assurance that all SSIP Accredited Contractors have been assessed to a minimum Risk Management and common Health and Safety Standards.
With our help and guidance, and for a fixed fee we will assist you in the accreditation process, enabling you to focus on doing what you do best, running your own business.
Most clients and contractor supply chains now require membership to one or more of ‘Safety Schemes In Procurement’ organisations.
Whilst they all vary slightly in what is required to become accredited, health and safety management and documentation is key for all of them, such as;
• Health and Safety Policy
• Risk Assessments and Method Statements
• Training Matrix
• Toolbox Talks
One of the most significant advantages is that an SSIP accreditation helps your organisation stay in compliance with health and safety legislation as well as showing potential clients, and the HSE that you are compliant with the highest standards of safety in your business.
For many businesses, CHAS, Constructionline, Achilles and Safecontractor accreditations are now considered a prerequisite before a contractor is allowed on a tender list. Completing your SSIP application will allow you to use the SSIP providers logo and will allow your business to be displayed on the SSIP providers database, increasing your visibility.
