Done For You CHAS Accreditation Support – Get Approved First Time

CHAS support to get CHAS accreditation and avoid delays, confusion, or rejection…

You’re not alone. Most contractors struggle because CHAS isn’t just about having documents; it’s about properly proving compliance.

That’s where we come in.

Quick Answer

Our done-for-you CHAS support service handles your entire application, from documents to approval, so you pass the first time without the stress.

Why Most CHAS Applications Fail

Before working with us, most clients have already tried to apply on their own.

Here’s what typically goes wrong:

❌ Generic or incomplete Health & Safety policies
❌ RAMS that don’t reflect real work
❌ Missing training and competency evidence
❌ Inconsistent information across documents
❌ Slow or incorrect responses to assessors

The result: Returned applications, delays, and lost work opportunities.

What Our CHAS Support Service Includes

We don’t just “help”, we handle the entire process.

1. Full Document Creation

We create everything required to meet CHAS standards:

• Health & Safety Policy (tailored to your business)
• Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS)
• COSHH assessments (if required)
• Accident reporting procedures
• Training and competency records

No templates. Everything is built for your actual work.

2. Complete CHAS Application

We:

• Complete your CHAS submission
• Upload all documentation
• Ensure everything aligns with the CHAS assessment criteria

This is where most applications go wrong; we make sure yours doesn’t.

3. Assessor Query Management

Most applications get follow-up questions.

We handle:

• Additional evidence requests
• Document updates
• Assessor communication

Fast responses = faster approval.

4. Compliance Gap Fixing

Before submission, we identify and fix issues such as:

• Missing training records
• Weak RAMS
• Outdated policies
• Incorrect insurance

This is the difference between passing the first time and getting rejected.

How Fast Can You Get Approved?

With the right support:

Documents ready in as little as 5 working days
Most approvals within 1–2 weeks

Applications can drag on for weeks or fail completely

£429 + VAT Standard level

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CHAS support?

CHAS support is a Seguro service that helps contractors complete their CHAS accreditation by preparing documents, submitting the application and responding to assessor feedback to improve the chances of passing first time.

Do I need help with CHAS accreditation?

You can complete CHAS accreditation yourself, but many contractors choose Seguro support to save time and avoid mistakes. Help is especially useful if you are unfamiliar with health and safety requirements or have limited documentation.

What does CHAS support include?

Our CHAS support includes health and safety policy creation, RAMS preparation, training and insurance checks, completing the CHAS portal, uploading documents and managing assessor queries.

How long does CHAS accreditation take with support?

With professional support, most CHAS applications can be prepared and submitted within a few days, with assessment typically taking up to 10 working days, depending on the review process.

Why do CHAS applications fail without support?

CHAS applications often fail due to missing or outdated documents, weak risk assessments, inadequate advice, expired insurance, or insufficient training records. Support helps identify and fix these issues before submission.

Can a consultant complete my CHAS application for me?

Yes. A CHAS consultant, like Seguro, can manage the entire process, including preparing documents, completing the online application, uploading evidence, and responding to assessor feedback on your behalf.

Is CHAS support worth it?

CHAS support is often worth it for contractors who want to pass first time, reduce delays and focus on their business rather than managing complex health and safety documentation.

Do I need a competent health and safety advisor for CHAS?

If you employ five or more people, including subcontractors, you must have access to competent health and safety advice. Many contractors meet this requirement through outsourced CHAS support services.

Toolbox talk alcohol and drugs

This toolbox talk alcohol and drugs cover the effects of alcohol and drugs on your safety and others at work.

Alcohol

1. In a high-risk industry like ours, alcohol and work are not compatible.
2. Alcohol is a depressant drug, which depresses parts of the brain function. When working on-site, you require all of your brain functions to save you from injury.
3. If you’re found to be intoxicated with alcohol, you won’t be allowed on site. You may end up losing your job.
4. Don’t get drunk the night before and expect to work safely on site the next day. Alcohol takes time to work out of your system (1 pint of beer takes approximately 2 hours).
5. 50% of all drivers killed are over the legal limit.
6. If you drink, don’t drive.
7.  Some workplace fatal accidents are alcohol-related.
8. Keep your head clear – leave your drinking sessions to social events, where you can’t cause injury to yourself or others.
9. Get a bad reputation for drinking, and you may not get another job as you’ll be seen as a liability.

Drugs

1. You are far more likely to have an accident on site when you are under the influence of drugs.
2. Drugs prescribed by your doctor could make you unfit for work, as can illegal drugs.
3. You may feel you don’t have a drug problem – it’s got nothing to do with you.  But if you get hurt, it’s a bit late to wonder what the other person was on.
4. If you know somebody is on drugs, tell your supervisor – help to stamp it out.
5. Signs to look for, watery eyes, pinpoint or dilated pupils, running nose, constant sniffing, tight lips, sores, ulcers, trembling, fatigue and irritability. If you see it, report it.
6. All drugs can affect your ability to work safely.
7. Some effects of drugs: slow reaction times, clumsiness, poor decision-making and distorted vision.
8. Don’t take ‘E’s – ‘E’ stands for ‘Ex-employee’.
9.  If you get offered drugs, say no, you’d rather work safely!
10. Drugs and work don’t mix.  Don’t let it become a problem.

Note to supervisor:  Now inform your workforce of the company policy regarding alcohol and drug abuse.

Domestic Construction Phase Plan CDM

In this article we will explain the domestic construction phase plan CDM. Does your project require a CDM plan?

Domestic projects involving only you as a contractor

On these projects, the client duties are transferred to you, who must carry out the client’s duties as well as your own. In practice, this will involve you doing no more than they have done in the past to comply with health and safety legislation. Compliance with your own duties as a contractor will be taken as compliance with the relevant client duties to the extent necessary given the risks involved in the project. As a result of you taking on the client duties, any designers involved in the project will work with you in their role as the ‘client’.

Domestic projects involving more than one contractor

For projects involving more than one contractor the Principal Contractor will normally assume the Client duties. The domestic Client can choose to appoint the Principal Designer for the project. If, however, they do not make this appointment, the first Designer appointed during the preconstruction phase is the Principal Designer for the project. If so, the Principal Designer will be answerable to the Principal Contractor in their role as ‘Client’ for the project and will be responsible for liaising with them.

CDM rules

CDM applies to all construction projects, including domestic projects, regardless of size or duration. Domestic DIY projects are exempt from CDM, but significant work may require building control approval. Even if a project is not notifiable (see below), CDM still applies. 

HSE Notifiable Projects

If the project takes more than 30 days to complete and/or involves more than 20 people, the project then needs to conform to CDM regulations and is a notifiable project. You don’t need to notify HSE for non-notifiable projects, but CDM rules still apply.

Key CDM Requirements

• Construction phase plan: A written document describing how the health, safety and welfare will be managed throughout the project.
• Competent people: Ensure that all those involved in the project, including the client, designers, and contractors, are competent. 
• Risk management: Encourage clear and effective communication and cooperation among all parties involved. 
• Communication: Encourage clear and effective communication and cooperation among all parties involved. 
• Health and Safety file: Keep a record of health and safety information for the project, to be maintained throughout the project lifecycle. 
• Domestic clients: For domestic clients, the client’s duties normally pass to the contractor if it is a single-contractor project or to the principal contractor for projects with more than one contractor. 
• Welfare facilities: Ensure adequate welfare facilities are provided, such as toilet and washing facilities, a place for preparing and consuming refreshments, and somewhere for storing and drying clothing and personal protective equipment. 
• Site inductions: Provide site inductions to keep people aware of any site danger.
• Prevent unauthorised access: Take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised access to the construction site. 
• Worker consultation: Consult and engage workers in securing their health and safety.
