The Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) started in 2001 with two intentions:

1. To improve health and safety standards across Great Britain
2. To reduce duplicated safety applications for both suppliers and buyers

So what this mean in practice for end users and main contractors working with a CHAS accreditiated company is an assurance that from the moment they start speaking with you about a project all the way through, health and safety has been as important as design and functionality.

Being CHAS certified speeds up the buying process. Everything will be documented and readily available as a resource making the process user friendly and easy.

When it comes to the installation or a design and build project, you can be rest assured that with CHAS registeration:

• You over achieve with health and safety
• Have the experience and resources to carry out the work,
• Have method statements and well thought out risk assessments and references
