Accreditations
Benefits Of An Accreditation
Accreditation provides essential benefits for your business as a contractor that can help you grow by allowing you to tender for work on larger projects.
- Demonstrate your health and safety compliance: accreditation allows you to demonstrate your compliance with Health and Safety legislation. By becoming accredited, you can show how effectively you manage risk and safeguard your workforce. Accreditation is highly valued and widely recognised.
- Secure more work opportunities: accreditation can boost your professional standing and credibility. When you apply for contracts, you can show clients you’re taking health and safety seriously. This is likely to make your contract bids more valuable and increases your chances of winning tenders, you’ll be able to secure more work for your business, whether through impressing clients or simply gaining access to their contracts.
- Save time and money on your risk assessment process: The primary aim of Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) was to introduce a Health and Safety Assessment System that reduced the overall costs of the assessment process by removing duplication and thus saving businesses time and money. SSIP accreditation has achieved what it set out to do. You won’t need to apply for multiple accreditations if you have SSIP, saving massive amounts of administration resources.
Once you have your accreditation in place
With your Accreditation in place, you can expect to achieve a lot more business. You are likely to find that clients and principal contractors insist that you are audited to ensure that what you say will happen, really happens on site.
Don’t panic, we can conduct your external audits for you; Site Audits are an important part of our work. Our consultants are all NEBOSH qualified and IOSH members, they can visit your site to complete an inspection and complete reports that you can pass onto your larger client to satisfy their requirements. Whatever frequency of visit you need, we can accommodate you.
By satisfying one accreditation body, you will also find that the others are satisfied as well, they all have their own specific needs but the hard work will already be done.
