What is a CHAS Accreditation and What Does it Mean to Contractors?
CHAS is a Health and Safety Accreditation Scheme that is operated by the London Borough of Merton Council which allows local authorities and other organisations to determine that your business meets the minimum standard required under the scheme.
The main purpose of the scheme is to avoid repeat applications by suppliers and contractors to become approved as local authority suppliers and to improve health and safety in small and medium-sized businesses. Whilst CHAS is a local authority and government-backed scheme, it can be used by any organisation looking to shortlist suppliers and contractors and can save money for all parties
Many local authorities and organisations insist on their suppliers to be CHAS accredited before they can award them any work.
