Health and Safety
As from March 2007 we become a member of CHAS which Means:
The
Contractors Health and Safety (CHAS) Assessment Scheme is a national
database of contractors who have been through a Health and Safety
assessment, and have demonstrated adequate compliance and management
standards. They are therefore approved to work on local authority
contracts (subject to approval of other checks such as financial
probity).
The scheme has two main aims:
1. To improve Health and Safety medium to large sized businesses.
2. To reduce the need for repeated Health and Safety form filling in, when applying to our members approved lists or tenders.
CHAS
provides a standard set of health and safety compliance criteria so
once a contractor has been assessed and approved with one member, they
can be accepted by any other signed up to CHAS. |
