CHAS

Each month thousands of contractors and consultants (suppliers) apply for work with public and private sector organisations (buyers). To win work, they must meet the buyer’s health and safety standards.
Assessing supplier’s health and safety competence is usually a lengthy and time consuming process. Suppliers can sometimes meet one buyer’s Health and Safety standards but not another. Being CHAS approved reduces duplication as suppliers compliance is accepted by all CHAS buyers.
CHAS assesses applicants:

• Health and safety policy statement;
• Their organisation for health and safety;
• Their specific health and safety arrangements to a standard acceptable to our buyers and to others.

CLM Compliance has been a CHAS accredited company for nearly a decade. As a business that focuses very heavily on the tender process particularly within the Public Sector, we have found this accreditation an essential route to market. By not being accredited to CHAS, some organisations rule themselves out of key opportunities in the sector; this is simply not acceptable practice for CLM Compliance.
