Creating a safe and sustainable future for a high-risk industry.
How CHAS Helps The Construction Industry To Effectively Manage Supply Chain Risks
Organisations in the construction industry face high levels of risk every day. Health and safety risks can be a matter of life and death, with many tasks involving working from a height and operating dangerous machinery on hazardous building sites.
But beyond health and safety, supply chain risks — including those relating to the environment, corporate social responsibility and organisations’ financial health — can affect the success and sustainability of construction operations.
CHAS helps both clients and contractors in the construction industry to effectively manage these supply chain risks. We’re committed to making it as simple as possible for organisations to achieve and maintain compliance, improve the efficiency and sustainability of operations, and ensure the safety of their workers and communities.
Our industry-leading accreditation schemes, pre-qualification processes and our full suite of supply chain management tools and training materials have already helped thousands of organisations to raise the bar for risk management best practices.
CHAS is helping clients and contractors protect themselves, their businesses and their workers, and on a larger scale, we are dedicated to making construction a safer and more sustainable industry.
How CHAS Helps Construction Contractors: Risk Management Resources And Industry-Leading Accreditation Schemes
A Simplified Accreditation And Pre-Qualification Process
With My CHAS we have made it as simple as possible to gain accreditation that is recognised industry and nationwide. You can achieve and demonstrate compliance across all areas of risk management using a single assessment body just once a year.
CHAS assessments can include PAS91 modules, helping you achieve PAS91 compliance and pre-qualify for thousands of exclusive work opportunities.
CHAS is also an SSIP founder member, so you can use your accreditation to join other SSIP assessment schemes with a “Deem to Satisfy” application. You won’t need to undertake another assessment.
Expert Support With Risk Management And Compliance
Our expert team is always available to offer guidance and support you in effectively managing risks and ensuring compliance with important legislation. We can offer assistance with important tasks, such as creating and submitting a Construction Phase Plan (CPP) and complying with the CDM (2015) Regulations.
Our exclusive membership benefits — like Business Shield Support, one month’s free trial of CHAS RAMS and discounted training courses — can help you not just tick boxes, gain certification and achieve compliance; these benefits are here to help you effectively protect your supply chain from risks and streamline construction operations.
Demonstrating Your Compliance And Safeguarding Your Reputation
With CHAS accreditation programmes, such as the Common Assessment Standard (the industry gold standard), you can demonstrate competence and compliance across up to 12 key areas of risk management.
By demonstrating a commitment to risk management best practices, you can reassure clients of your suitability for higher-ticket projects, and you can protect your business from legal liability and reputational damage.
