Title: CHAS
Post by: Ian Rochester on January 08, 2014, 09:35:31 pm
Anybody got it?  I need to get it but it doesn't look like a straight forward process.  If anyone has a copy of their H & S policy, that has been accredited by CHAS then i would love to have a copy .......please!!!!!

Join with Safe Contractor first then when applying for CHAS you fill out a small form as SSIP will already hold all details.

Does it need to CHAS?

We are safecontractor registered & it's been fine with any company we have priced up work for (house builders)

We used to be with CHAS, and a few others. Opted out last time around as found zero benefits.   Also dropped out of Constructionline for same reason.

Only with SMAS now which is all we need with existing Clients.

If your with any othe SSIP scheme CHAS isn't really necessary.
