Times and policies have changed when it comes to health and safety. Gone are the days that construction workers would work at great heights without any safety equipment. Now there are safety schemes to improve the health and safety standards across the UK. The CHAS accreditation scheme was created for this very reason and we can proudly say we are registered with the scheme.


What is the CHAS scheme?

The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme is a scheme that endeavours to provide support to both suppliers and the buying party in the assessment of health and safety. This assurance is very important in all industries supported by the scheme as the company registered can then give proof of their health and safety standards. This is vital for companies in our industry because it provides the assurance that we can transport the skip to the customer safely. The scheme also helps customers reduce the lengthy process of assessing contractor’s health and safety standards individually. The assessment provides annual health and safety assessments to ensure that our company is working in the safest possible environment.


What does this mean for us?

This accreditation provides both us and our customers with the assurance that our services are protected under the Health and Safety Act. We passed the CHAS accreditation 4 step process and have now been provided with a certificate and our approval letter. This is a big boost for both us and the industry as it means that our world of work will become even more safe. 


Going forward, being registered with CHAS will help us to set goals for improving our company’s health and safety and to make sure we meet those goals. Our regular customers know that we have always taken health and safety extremely seriously – new customers now have a quick way to check our health and safety credentials.
