However, you may not fully understand what is required of each, which one is best to apply for, and how you\u2019ll benefit by doing so.<\/p>\n<p id=\"backtotop\">Many accreditation schemes, such as CHAS, help contractors demonstrate that they have high standards of health and safety. This reflects positively on your business and can help you gain greater opportunities when looking for work.<\/p>\n<p>This article will clarify what CHAS accreditation, as well as others like it, actually means for your business and how you can apply for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It contains the following sections:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#whatischas\">What is CHAS?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#chasbenefits\">What are the Benefits of CHAS Accreditation?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#applychas\">How Do I Apply for CHAS Accreditation?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#hstcertificate\">Can I Use My High Speed Training Certificates in a CHAS Application?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"whatischas\"><em>Use the links above to navigate to a certain section of the article<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What is CHAS?<\/h2>\n<p>CHAS (The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is a type of accreditation that proves a business\u2019s health and safety processes meet excellent standards. Qualified health and safety professionals carry out CHAS assessments of a business\u2019s documentation, without visiting their site, to confirm they\u2019re fulfilling everything required by law.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38948 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Contractor-drilling-wood.jpg\" alt=\"Contractor drilling wood\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The CHAS website also explains that they are &#8220;<span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">an authority and trusted advisor on health and safety compliance, responsible for setting industry benchmarks and providing the new Common Assessment Standards. <\/span>Our aim is o standardise and simplify health and safety assessment for contractors; to support organisations in efficiently managing their supply chains; and to deliver a full suite of supply chain management tools.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Being one of the founders of <strong>SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement)<\/strong> highlights just how committed they are to best practices and their authority as an industry expert.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What is SSIP?<\/h2>\n<p>SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) is the <strong>umbrella body<\/strong> for a variety of assessment schemes. These schemes become members of SSIP and offer SSIP-approved accreditation to businesses. <strong>SSIP are supported by the Health and Safety Executive, <\/strong>which helps them to act as an authority in the safety sector and ensure accrediting bodies assess businesses based on industry best practice.<\/p>\n<p>SSIP\u2019s main aim is to <strong>reduce health and safety assessment costs and duplication.<\/strong> They recognise that many businesses struggle to know which type of accreditation is best and end up taking multiple assessments as a result. This is why SSIP ensures that all their members (such as Safe Contractor or CHAS) follow consistent guidelines when providing accreditation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38957 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/SSIP-logo.jpg\" alt=\"SSIP logo\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Doing so means that contractors can feel confident receiving accreditation from any SSIP member. Furthermore, it enables SSIP\u2019s members to have cross-recognition. This means that it\u2019s much easier for a business to apply for further accreditation from another SSIP member if they already have one.<\/p>\n<p id=\"chasbenefits\"><a href=\"#backtotop\"><em>Back to Top<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What Are the Benefits of CHAS Accreditation?<\/h2>\n<p>As a contractor or subcontractor, receiving accreditation from CHAS can benefit your work in various ways. It can help you to:<\/p>\n<h3>Show you\u2019re trustworthy and committed.<\/h3>\n<p>Accreditation is a trust signal for many customers and clients, as it shows that your business makes an effort to comply with the law and follow best practices. It also demonstrates that you take your responsibilities seriously. Instead of hoping that people will give you the benefit of the doubt regarding your safety procedures, you\u2019re making an effort to prove to others that you meet these industry standards.<\/p>\n<h3>Gain work opportunities with Local Authorities.<\/h3>\n<p>Local Authorities often require their contractors to demonstrate they are professional and safety conscious. For example, hospitals, universities, schools, and larger construction companies. CHAS accreditation demonstrates that your business meets these standards and therefore enables you to gain more work opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38949 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Contractors-checking-a-plan.jpg\" alt=\"Contractors checking a plan\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Improve work prospects.<\/h3>\n<p>In a similar vein, CHAS can help you to start tendering work for yourself if you want to move on from being a subcontractor. The documentation process that is necessary to take ownership can be overwhelming, but CHAS can help you get to grips with all the key areas you need to cover.<\/p>\n<h3>Create evidence of health and safety compliance.<\/h3>\n<p>Acquiring accreditation from CHAS requires you to provide comprehensive evidence of your safety procedures. By applying for CHAS, you\u2019ll gain a stronger awareness of how important it is to create and retain this kind of documentation. This in turn helps you to prove due diligence and comply with the law.<\/p>\n<h3>Acquire further accreditation.<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, if you have one type of SSIP-approved accreditation it\u2019s easier to complete pre-qualification questionnaires and apply for another. This is beneficial because having multiple accreditations can make you stand out from other contractors.<\/p>\n<h3>Prove you\u2019re compliant in other areas.<\/h3>\n<p>CHAS offers many different accreditation packages, with some that assess more than a business\u2019s health and safety. For example, their Common Assessment Standard also assesses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/courses\/business-essentials\/anti-bribery-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">anti-bribery<\/a> and corporate social responsibility procedures as well as the 12 key areas of risk management. So, depending on the type you apply for, CHAS accreditation can also prove that your business is complying with other important legal requirements.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#backtotop\"><em>Back to Top<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Should I Choose Safe Contractor, CHAS, or Acclaim Accreditation?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many different accrediting bodies you can choose from. In fact, SSIP has a total of <a href=\"https:\/\/ssip.org.uk\/members\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">24 members<\/a>, which is why you may find it confusing trying to decide which is best.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that <strong>SSIP is open to any accrediting schemes<\/strong> that adhere to the terms outlined in the SSIP Rules and Bylaws. This means they all follow the same basic standards set out by SSIP, so will each prove that you\u2019re adhering to best practices. You should still do your own research into which you think suits you best as many are designed specifically for certain businesses and activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A common query is<\/strong> <strong>whether you should choose Safe Contractor, CHAS, or Acclaim, <\/strong>as these are some of the most well-known and popular accrediting schemes amongst contractors. Ultimately, it\u2019s up to you to decide which you\u2019d like to go for, as their schemes overlap in many ways.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38950 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Contractors-equipment-and-hard-hats-on-a-table.jpg\" alt=\"Contractor's equipment and hard hats on a table\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Having said that, <strong>CHAS seems to be the most well-recognised and popular of the three<\/strong>, particularly with them being a founder of SSIP.<br \/>\nThey also helped develop the core criteria in the Approved Code of Practice, which supports CDM 2015.<\/p>\n<h4>You can find out more about the three on their websites:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chas.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CHAS<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safecontractor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Safe Contractor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionline.co.uk\/products-services\/acclaim-accreditation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Acclaim Accreditation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"applychas\"><a href=\"#backtotop\"><em>Back to Top<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How Do I Apply for CHAS Accreditation?<\/h2>\n<p>CHAS assessments require your business to provide the necessary <strong>paperwork<\/strong> that shows evidence of compliance. You must not underestimate the importance of doing this properly. In fact, an estimated 80% of contractors fail CHAS on the first attempt, often due to a <strong>lack of evidence of training<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering about how exactly an assessment is carried out and what costs are involved, you can find out more below:<\/p>\n<h3>How Do I Apply?<\/h3>\n<p>To apply for CHAS accreditation, you must first choose which package you want. Make sure that you have all the necessary evidence to comply with everything this package will assess. Then, you need to fill out a <a href=\"https:\/\/eforms.chas.co.uk\/ebase\/registration.eb?PRODUCT_BUNDLE=da31c8e3-759c-e811-8157-70106fa67281&amp;ebd=0&amp;ebz=2_1558001373917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CHAS Contractor Registration Form<\/a>. You will need your <strong>Company Registration Number <\/strong>to use the Companies House look-up feature or details of your company if you don\u2019t have it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve done that, you can then complete your application, upload supporting documentation, and submit it all for assessment.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>How Much Does It Cost?<\/h3>\n<p>CHAS accreditation <strong>varies in price<\/strong> depending on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chas.co.uk\/chas-products-packages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">package<\/a> you purchase and the number of employees in your business. For example, a standard CHAS (H&amp;S) application costs \u00a3479 for 5-15 employees. <strong>Premium Plus<\/strong> (the most popular package) costs \u00a3739 for 5-15 employees.<\/p>\n<p>CHAS uses a dynamic pricing system and prices vary depending on accreditation level and the number of employees your business has. A joining fee will be applicable for new members.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>How is it Carried Out?<\/h3>\n<p>A CHAS assessment is carried out <strong>electronically<\/strong> by an assessor, meaning they do not need to visit your premises. However, there is a package available that involves an on-site inspection if you want one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38951 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Contractor-on-a-computer.jpg\" alt=\"Contractor on a computer\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You will need to <strong>reapply annually<\/strong> to retain your accreditation. This is necessary in order to prove that you comply with the accreditation\u2019s standards on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>How Long Does It Take?<\/h3>\n<p>The assessment takes an average of <strong>10 working days. <\/strong>An assessor is assigned within 1 day and you\u2019ll receive an initial response within 2 days. However, if there are any issues with your initial application this can extend the time it takes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>What Documentation Do I Need?<\/h3>\n<p>A CHAS assessment requires you to <strong>submit evidence <\/strong>of all areas of your health and safety. Although the specific evidence you need can vary depending on your specific business, the most common types you will need include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your health and safety policy.<\/li>\n<li>Evidence of risk assessments, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/what-is-a-method-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">method statements<\/a>, and other related information.
