Do I need to be a CHAS accredited contractor?

If you are self-employed or a small contractor do you need to be a CHAS accredited contractor. You may be asked to get CHAS or other SSIP certificate. Let us explain the situation to you.

Domestic Market

If you work in the domestic market and want to sail close to the wind, the answer is no, as homeowners will not insist that you work safely.

However, you have a duty of care for yourself and others under UK health and safety legislation. Even working in the domestic market, you will be in trouble if you have a terrible accident or cause harm to others.

Construction Market

The answer is yes if you work in the construction market or want to work there. You will need to have a recognised standard of health and safety.

Main contractors and clients such as local authorities insist that everyone who works for them has a standard of health and safety. They insist as it is part of their health and safety systems.

The most well-known standard is CHAS, but there are other providers of the same standard under the SSIP umbrella. SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) is a organisation that manages accreditation suppliers, to ensure they work to the same standards.

The size of your business matters

If you are self-employed or a small contractor with less than 5 employees, you need CHAS or similar, SSIP but you will not be required to employ a competent person safety advisor.

You must employ a competent person safety advisor if you employ 5 or more people, including sub-contractors or other self-employed people. The easiest way to do this is to use a remote competent person safety advisor. We offer this service.

What is CHAS

The Core Criteria and the threshold standard of CHAS and all the other SSIP accreditations  is as follows:

• Health & safety policy
• Competent Advice
• Training arrangements
• Monitoring, audit and review
• Workforce involvement
• Accident reporting and enforcement action
• Subcontracting/consulting
• Risk Assessments and Safe Systems of Work
• Cooperations with others
• Welfare provision
• Hazard elimination

The Good News

We are here to support you through the process; we can prepare all the documents, complete the registration forms, and simplify the process. CHAS is expensive, but other providers are very economical. The best thing to do is chat with us and learn more; we can tell you about the costs and the time frame. Our number is 0800 031 5404, or you can complete the form below.

Small business health and safety

Small business health and safety is essential to keep your people safe and is required by law, but it comes at a price of time and money.

A simple approach that allows you to get on with your job of running the business is to let a third party worry about all health and safety requirements within your company. We offer a competent safety advisor service that is very economical, but before we go into the details, let’s look at the essential health and safety requirements.

Small business health and safety checklist

There are some fundamental requirements that you must have in place by law.

1. Health and safety policy (over 5 employees)
2. Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS)
3. Employee health and safety training with documented proof of delivery

Health and safety audit checklist

A quick health and safety audit will tell you if you have everything for an HSE inspection. A health and safety audit will check all your essential documents and then look at your arrangements to ensure the following areas are all covered.

1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
2. Tools and Machinery
3. Electrical
4. Fire
5. Heavy Loading/Unloading
6. Chemical/Hazardous Substance Storage
7. Working from Height

Health and safety legislation

As a director, it is essential to know and understand your responsibilities regarding health and safety. Below are the main health and safety legislation, laws, and requirements.

The Health and Safety at Work, etc Act 1974

If a health and safety offence is committed and the cause is the neglect of a director, the person and the organisation can be prosecuted.

Directors can appoint an independent third party to carry out their health and safety duties. The third-party must be fully qualified and competent to carry out the tasks. Delegating does not absolve the responsibility of a director; for example, if the safety advisor required employees to be trained and the director refused and an accident happened, then the director will held to account.

Read the health and safety at work act 1974 To ensure you understand your full health and safety executive responsibilities

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

All work activities are to manage risk. Once the risk or risks have been identified, the organisation must make arrangements to reduce or mitigate the risks.

This work takes the form of RAMS (Risk and Method Statements). The risk assessment identifies risks and examines ways to reduce them.

The method statement describes how the work is to be carried out and ensures that all PPE and other means to reduce the safety risk are included.

Please visit our risk and method statement shop. We have over 150 RAMS, some of which include 18 pages and 9,000 words, that you can buy very reasonably. The documents are in Word format, so you can adjust them to suit your project.

Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007

Corporate manslaughter and corporate homicide are when an employee is killed at work, and the HSE find the responsibility for the death is due to failure to carry out the work by all H&S laws.

It is very difficult to defend a death at work. The courts tend to side with the employee rather than the employer.

Failing to fulfil director health and safety responsibilities

When a director breaches health and safety legislation and causes harm, the sentences can lead to prison and unlimited fines. Over the past few years, post-COVID, many companies have gone into administration or liquidation due to directors failing to carry out their lawful duties. The HSE is increasingly looking at individuals rather than just the company.

Competent safety advisor

One way to help yourself is to have your own health and safety advisor. You can delegate all health and safety responsibilities to this third-party person. Your safety advisor will educate you on what you need to do to keep your business safe.

If an accident does occur on-site, and the company has all health and safety requirements up to date, the safety advisor will deal with HSE for you.

A safety advisor can save you time and money for a basic monthly fee.

The problem

CHAS and other SSIP providers raise their assessment fees annually, increasing costs. An American corporation owns CHAS, and their fees have been raised yearly. They are now very high compared to other SSIP accreditation suppliers.

We have a solution

There are over thirty SSIP accreditation suppliers who all do the same thing, to the same standard. The standard is controlled by SSIP, which was created to develop a fair playing field and reduce costs.

CHAS is the most popular and well-known; however, the suppliers below are also prominent and are much more economical than CHAS.

Our preferred SSIP assessment renewal supplier is PQS; they have the lowest fees and are great to deal with. They have a good customer service team and have created easy-to-use systems to complete the accreditation documentation.

Our preferred SSIP supplier list.

• CHAS
• PQS
• Construction line
• Safe Contractor
• SMAS
• CQMA
• Builders profile
• Avetta

What will an SSIP accreditation cover?

All assessments are completed using the SSIP Core Criteria as the threshold standard and cover the following:

• Health & Safety policy
• Competent Advice
• Training arrangements
• Monitoring, audit and review
• Workforce involvement
• Accident reporting and enforcement action
• Subcontracting/consulting
• Risk Assessments and Safe Systems of Work
• Cooperations with others
• Welfare provision
• Hazard elimination

The assessment completed will be proportionate and relevant to the type of work you undertake and the size of your business, noting the size of your business will include any labour staff working for you.

About PQS accreditation

The PQS is an accreditation supplier and SSIP member. PQS charge a much lower fee than CHAS, saving you up to £500 depending on your type of accreditation.

There is no difference between CHAS and PQS; they are SSIP members and work according to the same rules and guidance.

If you are worried that your customers are asking for CHAS, it’s OK, as SSIP allow you to obtain a CHAS certificate even when PQS has accredited you through their deem to satisfy process.

If your SSIP accreditation is coming up for renewal, contact us, and we can advise you on the best solution for your business and budget.

Working at height toolbox talk

This Working at Height Toolbox Talk covers the key hazards and safe-working practices you must follow before accessing a roof or working at height.

The problem: 124 worker-related deaths in 2024 and 2025.

The solution: Learn how to keep yourself and others safe.

The result: Fewer serious injuries and fatalities from falls.

BEFORE WORKING AT HEIGHT

1. Before any work or access onto a roof, identify all fragile materials and put the right precautions in place.

2. Roof-edge barriers or scaffolds must be erected to prevent people and materials from falling.

3. Access ladders must extend at least one metre above the stepping-off point and must be securely fixed.

4. Where ladders rise above nine metres, a safe intermediate platform must be provided.

5. Make sure ladders are set at the correct angle: one unit out for every four units up.

HAZARDS OF WORKING AT HEIGHT

1. If there is any risk of falling, guardrails and toe-boards must be in place.

2. Always assess and anticipate hazards from adverse weather conditions and take suitable precautions.

3. LPG cylinders must be positioned at least four metres away from any heat source, and spare bottles should be kept to a minimum.

4. Never allow rubbish or materials to accumulate. Use a chute or lower materials safely—build-ups create accidents.

SAFE WORKING ON ROOFS

1. Only competent operatives may carry out roofing works.

2. Provide and use crawling boards or ladders where the roof could collapse under weight, or where the pitch exceeds ten degrees.

3. For short-duration work where guardrails and toe-boards cannot be used, workers must wear safety harnesses with suitable anchor points.

4. Bitumen boilers must be used with a drip tray.

5. All openings must be covered or guarded. If you remove a cover for access or material movement, replace it immediately.

NOTE TO THE SUPERVISOR

Brief your workforce on your company’s specific policies for working at height.

And remember: There is no safe height to fall from.

Working at Height eLearning Training Certificate

Manual Handling Toolbox Talk

This manual handling toolbox talk covers the key considerations and good techniques for safe manual handling.

Every year, poor manual handling contributes to over nine million lost working days.

The solution is simple: learn how to lift correctly and look after your back.

The result? Fewer lost days… and a happier, healthier workforce.

Considerations for Manual Handling

Before lifting anything, think about the following:

1. Always use mechanical handling methods instead of manual handling whenever possible — such as forklifts or pallet trucks.
2. Know your own capabilities; only tackle jobs you can safely handle.
3. Decide whether you can manage the load yourself or if you need assistance.
4. Check that there is a clear walkway with good lighting to the work area.
5. Whenever possible, identify the weight of the load before lifting.
6. Wear gloves to protect your hands from cuts and punctures.
7. Wear safety boots to protect your feet from falling loads.
8. Carry out a trial lift by gently rocking the load from side to side, then lifting it slightly to get a feel for its weight.

Good Handling Technique

Now let’s look at good, safe lifting technique:

1. Stand close to the load, feet hip-width apart, with one foot slightly forward in the direction you’re going.
2. Bend your knees and keep your back straight.
3. Get a secure grip on the load.
4. Breathe in before lifting — this helps support your spine.
5. Keep your back straight and lift using the strength of your legs.
6. Keep the load close to your body at all times.
7. Never carry a load that blocks your vision.
8. Lift slowly and smoothly.
9. Avoid jerky movements.
10. Never twist your body while lifting or carrying a load.
11. When lifting something from the floor to a high position, do it in two stages.
12. When two or more people lift a load, one person must take control and coordinate the lift.

Note to the Supervisor

Supervisors — please now inform your workforce of your company’s manual handling policy.

And remember:

Bad manual handling techniques cause injuries.

Manual Handling Training

If you need a Manual Handling Training Certificate, we can provide a complete online eLearning course.

Abrasive wheels toolbox talk

This abrasive wheels toolbox talk covers the key safety considerations and good working techniques when using abrasive wheels.

Every year, around five thousand injuries are reported from abrasive wheel accidents.

The solution is simple: learn how to use grinders and abrasive wheels correctly.

The result? Fewer injuries… and fewer lost working days.

Hazards

Let’s look at the main hazards and how to prepare for unexpected situations.

1. The speed of the machine must never exceed the maximum permissible speed of the wheel.

Many accidents occur because the wheel is over-speeding.

2. Do not apply heavy pressure to the wheel.

3. Never use the side of the wheel.

4. Keep your fingers well away from the cutting edge.

5. Ear and eye protection must always be worn.

Using Portable Abrasive Wheels

When using portable abrasive wheels:

1. Do not mount a wheel unless you are authorised in writing and trained to do so.

2. Only reinforced discs should be used on hand-held machines.

3. Check that the maximum wheel speed is greater than the spindle speed before fitting.

4. Adjust guards so that only the minimum wheel surface is exposed.

5. Always be aware of other workers in your area and make sure your actions do not put them at risk.

Using Bench-Mounted Abrasive Wheels

When using bench-mounted abrasive wheels:

1. Adjust the tool rest as close as possible to the face of the wheel.

2. Keep the glass safety screen in the correct position.

3. Keep your fingers below the tool rest level.

4. Use the correct grade of wheel for the task.

5. Keep the wheel face evenly dressed.

6. After fitting a new wheel, run it for a full minute before use — and stand clear during the test.

7. Stop the wheel when it is not being used.

Note to the Supervisor

Supervisors:

Now inform your workforce of your company policy for working with abrasive wheels.

And remember — abrasive wheels must only be fitted by a trained and competent person.

Certified Training

If you need an abrasive wheels training certificate, we can provide an online eLearning course.

Our Abrasive Wheels Training is IIRSM and CPD Approved, and suitable for anyone who uses abrasive wheels, or anyone who employs people who do

What is Construction Site Safety? 

Construction site safety refers to the controls, procedures, training, and supervision required to prevent injuries, ill health, and unsafe conditions on construction projects.

In the UK, it is governed by:

• Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
• CDM Regulations 2015
• Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

A site is only considered safe when risks are controlled, workers are competent, and safety processes are consistently monitored.

1. Working at height
2. Manual handling
3. Moving vehicles & plant
4. Slips, trips and falls
5. Electricity
6. Excavations & groundworks
7. Falling objects
8. Hazardous substances (COSHH)
9. Noise & vibration
10. Fire risks

Tip: Sites that control these risks effectively typically pass audits (CHAS, SMAS, Constructionline) with fewer issues.
