An Introduction to SSIP Certification

These days, many principal contractors or clients are insisting that a contractor working with them shows commitment to health and safety by having an independent body assess their systems. Sometimes this achieved is by their own processes but often having an SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) certificate from a qualifying body (such as CHAS, SafeContractor or Acclaim) means a lot of time and money can be saved proving the same thing over and over again.

This certification verifies that you have systems that meet the legal requirements of health and safety legislation without needing to be assessed by different schemes.

It is basically one application that will give you a stamp of approval which is often necessary when securing new work or contracts.
