What is it? 

​

SSIP is the collective name given to a group of assessment bodies that award safety accreditation certification including CHAS, SafeContractor, SMAS and so on. An auditor assesses your safety management systems based on evidence you submit. Note that this is an assessment made by an experienced safety professional and not a simple application, No two businesses or assessments are the same.​

​​​

Why get it? 

​

Reasons you might want to apply for safety accreditation may include reassuring yourself that your safety documents have been checked by a third party auditor. ​Standing out to win larger projects, work with corporate clients and government contracts or maybe advertise your conscientious approach to the world and avoid client safety questionnaires. 

​​​
