I have it and you fill in the forms and questionnaire you send evidence of RAMS and your health and safety policy and documents to them to be audited depending how busy they are how much you pay it then takes around a month to get accredited

As far as I'm aware no third part helps you gain this like they do with CHAS or iOS.

I think they do a premium service where they will help you with all the documents you will need

You can easily fulfill your customers health and safety requirements without the added cost of Safecontracor I'd rather spend the money on a local health safety consultant to work with you to get a full health safety policy RAMS etc then keep everything in house going forward.

I think we pay around £400 per year.
