SafeContractor Accreditation & Application Help

What is SafeContractor Accreditation?

SafeContractor is a highly respected SSIP Accredited Health and Safety Contractor Competence Assessment Scheme.

With this accreditation, you can rest assured that clients will be fully satisfied that you have met all the health and safety standards and regulations to carry out your job.

SafeContractor is well established within the construction industry, as well as throughout many other industry sectors, as providing a benchmark health and safety standard against which Contractors' Health and Safety Arrangements and Provisions are reviewed.

SafeContractor is also considered as being an SSIP equivalent to CHAS, SMAS, Exor, Acclaim and ConstructionLine.

What are the benefits of SafeContractor Accreditation?

If you're not sure whether SafeContractor accreditation is beneficial for you and your business, then here are just some reasons why you should consider completing a SafeContractor application.

Once you are SafeContractor accredited, you will be listed on the SafeContractor client portal making your business more visible within the industry.

Not to mention, SafeContractor-accredited businesses have proven that their health and safety practices, policies, and procedures meet the required standard, which reduces the need to complete and submit multiple health and safety questionnaires to clients.

But, above all, having a SafeContractor Accreditation Status means that you have been thoroughly audited, which removes the risk from your client, making you an attractive contractor.

With the SafeContractor logo attached to your business, the HSE will clearly be able to see that you have good health and safety practices which have been rigorously assessed, and this will help with the reputation of your business.

It seems like a no-brainer!
SafeContractor accreditation can really boost the visibility, reputation and clientele of your business.

Free Client Portal

When purchasing your SafeContractor Accreditation SSIP, you will also receive access to a bespoke online portal where all your certifications, RAMS and training documentation will be held. Giving you ease of access whether you are on-site or within the office.  This portal is Free of Charge to all our SSIP Clients.

What do I need for my SafeContractor Application?

The SafeContractor Registration process can be quite extensive, which is why many businesses opt for support from a health and safety consultant.

With SafeContractor and SMAS both now require all new members' assessments to include the SafePQQ and PAS91, respectively. All clients will now require a significant number of extra documents in order to attain the accreditations. SSD can help you keep your assessment status while keeping costs as low as possible. A one-off fee of £300 +VAT will give you all the policies you need to gain these extra parts of the assessment. This package includes Environmental, Modern Slavery, Anti-Bribery, Equality, Equal Opportunities and Quality Policies to help you gain the Assessment you need.

SafeContractor will assess a range of health and safety policies and procedures within your business by reviewing current documentation and posing a series of questions.
Some of the things you will need to provide as part of your SafeContractor application are listed below, although not everything listed is applicable to every business:

• Health and Safety Policy
• Health and Safety Arrangements
• Risk Assessments and Method Statements
• COSHH Assessments
• Work Equipment Procedures
• First Aid Provisions
• Accident Reporting
• Health and Safety Training Certifications
• Electrical Safety
