The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme
"Joining CHAS was far less daunting than we anticipated. External consultants had caused undue worry about how difficult it would be to join. We then spoke to members of your staff who were very reasuring and guided us through the process with ease"

Need help with your CHAS registration?


Our friendly office staff are happy to help if you do not understand something on our forms or the application process. See how to apply or contact us . We can also guide you to free sources of information and example documents if you are just starting out on the Health & Safety road. See list of useful websites.

Nobody is perfect. Some companies when they apply may have left out a small piece (or pieces) of information or might need to amend something. This is normal. However, as part of our service your assessor will give you feedback on what may be missing or in need of clarification and give you time to send it to them. As a result of this supportive approach we are proud that the fail rate for applications to us in the last financial year was less than one percent. Reasons we may fail your CHAS assessment

All of our assessors are friendly, qualified, competent Health & Safety officers who are committed to improving Health & Safety, and pride themselves in guiding companies in the right direction. Read more about the CHAS assessors

Whilst you may feel as if the CHAS application is time consuming and scary, we are here to help and once you have achieved compliance it is accepted by all our buyers when you apply for tenders and contracts, saving you time and money. View the list of CHAS Buyers .

Please take a look at the application form and guidance notes before paying someone else to complete your application for you. It is your company, your application and you are the expert in what you do!

YOU CAN DO IT!
