What are Health and safety pre approval schemes?
Health and safety pre approval schemes such as CHAS assist in the health and safety pre qualification process. Once your organisation is registered under the scheme it shows that your health and safety procedures and documentation is to a nationally recognised and accepted threshold standard.
CHAS assesses applicants:
Health and safety policy statement;
Their organisation for health and safety;
Their specific health and safety arrangements to a standard acceptable to our buyers and to others.
Once your organisation is registered under such a scheme the amount of paperwork to complete when tendering for work with a client that recognises the scheme will be reduced.
