Displaying our commitment to safety and equality
3 Jan 2022
At Northort Ltd, our focus is on safety, quality, and equality, which is why we have selected CHAS as our preferred accreditation.
This enables us to demonstrate our dedication to health and safety by complying with CHAS standards in accordance with SSIP core criteria and UK Health and Safety legislation, completing nine modules of PAS 91.
This commitment is visible not only to our clients but also to our team.
A safe environment is where employees thrive.
So, what are the benefits of CHAS accreditation and what does it mean for our clients?
There are numerous advantages to acquiring CHAS accreditation, including:
Legal compliance
CHAS accreditation shows that your company complies with health and safety laws.
Reputation
CHAS accreditation indicates that your company is reliable and values health and safety.
Access to new markets
CHAS accreditation can aid in accessing new markets and attracting potential clients.
Stand out from competitors
CHAS accreditation can help you differentiate yourself from other contractors and consultants.
Save time and money
CHAS accreditation can reduce time and costs by minimizing the need for intermediaries.
Raise awareness
CHAS accreditation can increase awareness of workplace health and safety risks.
Create a safety culture
CHAS accreditation can foster a safety culture among employees.
CHAS is an accreditation for health and safety that evaluates a company's policies, procedures, and practices. To achieve CHAS accreditation, you need to provide proof of your health and safety procedures, including:
Health and safety policies
Risk assessments and process statements
Insurance documents
Equipment maintenance and testing records
On-site health and safety induction records
Training and certification evidence
Health surveillance evidence
Although CHAS accreditation is not a legal necessity, certain clients might demand it for projects on their premises. It is frequently a requirement for public sector and commercial contracts.
