Frequently Asked Questions

Which accreditation scheme should I choose?
This depends on your clients' requirements and the sectors you work in. SSIP mutual recognition means that achieving one member scheme may satisfy clients requiring another. We can advise on the most appropriate scheme for your circumstances.
What happens if we fail the assessment?
Most schemes allow resubmission after addressing the issues identified. Our pre-assessment review process is designed to identify and resolve potential problems before you submit, giving you the best chance of first-time success.
What is SSIP and mutual recognition?
SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) is a forum of health and safety assessment schemes that have agreed mutual recognition. This means if you achieve one SSIP member scheme (like CHAS), other clients requiring a different SSIP scheme should accept it. This saves you paying for multiple similar assessments.
Do you help with renewals and annual reviews?
Yes. Most schemes require annual renewal and periodic reassessment. We can support you through renewals, ensuring your documentation stays current and addressing any new requirements.
Can you help with ISO 45001 certification?
Yes. While ISO 45001 is more comprehensive than contractor schemes, we can help you develop the management system documentation and prepare for certification audits. We can also conduct internal audits and gap analyses.
