Did you know: We’re CHAS accredited for 2020! What is it? The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) allows companies to demonstrate to potential clients that they meet the required health and safety standards. Why do we need it? It’s an annual certification which is a “good to have” and shows we hold health and safety high on our priorities. It helps to confirm that, as a company, we have the correct processes and supporting documentation in place and is important for our public sector tender applications. Thanks to our dedicated team – particularly Neil Tart, H&S Advisor, and Liz Deakin - for their hard work in achieving this important certification!
