We have put together this guide and a list of the top 5 accreditations for those in the construction industry - so keep reading to learn more about them.
CHAS
Accreditation
CHAS stands for ‘The Contractors Health and Safety
Assessment Scheme’ and is a trusted health
and safety online assessment compliance. This has been the most popular
assessment scheme for many across various industries including those in the
construction industry, as it demonstrates to prospective clients that you meet
health and safety standards and is recognized.
The CHAS
Accreditation aims to save you time and money when applying for work
and most large organizations and local authorities. There are three CHAS levels
to choose from which can be found on our website.
SMAS is a leading Health and Safety Accreditation
scheme in the UK, short for Safety Management Advisory Services. It is used to
show main contractors and big clients that your business is safe to work on -
particularly useful for those in construction when there are many safety
hazards. Clients, contractors, and employees will also be reassured that work
is completed in a safe working environment.
Many large organizations and local authorities are
now insisting that you are accredited before starting a contract - once
compliant you will be issued a certificate which will be valid for 12 months
and you will have to be awarded each year.
Safe
Contractor Accreditation
The Safe Contractor Accreditation is a leading
Health and Safety Accreditation scheme in the UK. Safe Contractor is a member
of the Safety
Scheme in Procurement (SSIP) and is an online assessment for health and
safety compliance and helps to demonstrate to clients that you meet health
& safety and corporate responsibility standards.
It is a popular and pretty standard for large organizations
and local authorities to require you to have the Safe Contractor Accreditation
in place to do the work that you do in the construction industry.
CAS
Accreditation
The Common Assessment Standard (CAS) is a form of
accreditation and was created as a way to stop being at risk but costs the
construction industry around a billion pounds a year.
This CAS Accreditation is backed by over 30 of the
biggest clients in the industry and this accreditation is made up of
industry-agreed questions and corresponding assessment standards.
Constructionline

Constructionline is an online pre-qualification
database that is used by the Construction Industry across the UK. The database
is accessed by over 2500 members, including the central government, local
authorities and main contractors and aims to match buyers with contractors to
simplify the supply chain process.
The majority of the major construction companies use
the Constructionline portal to identify verified businesses before they choose
to do specific work for them. No matter what the size of your business,
Constructionline is relevant to those all across the UK.
Many companies choose to have several Health and
Safety Accreditations, this is perfectly fine to do and you will find
