What Are The Benefits Of Belonging To CHAS?
Membership of the CHAS Assessment Scheme can assist contractors by:
- Demonstrating a level of compliance with health and safety law (to assess competence);
- Avoiding duplication of effort by reducing the need to submit multiple H&S Questionnaires to clients;
- Overcoming inconsistency in assessments with some contractors being assessed as compliant by one employer but not others;
- Providing opportunities to secure New and Larger Commercial Contracts;
- Enabling them to be considered for contracts that they would previously not have even been shortlisted for;
- Enabling the health and safety elements of Constructionline to be complied with.
Being a member of the CHAS Assessment Scheme should also reduce the number and frequency with which you have to fill in and send off Health and Safety Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQ), as the CHAS Assessment Scheme is becoming a standard pre-requisite for virtually all local authorities and government departments. This means that one application will potentially pre-qualify you to work for many different clients across the whole of the UK, this should save you having to make multiple applications and assessments when tendering for work.
The CHAS Assessment Scheme is currently used by over 300 client members, whilst over 17,000 contractors have been assessed by CHAS.
