What Is SSIP and Pre-Qualification?

SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) and pre-qualification assessments are used by clients and principal contractors to assess your health & safety arrangements.

Common schemes include:

  • CHAS

  • SMAS

  • SafeContractor

  • Constructionline

How We Can Help

We support businesses by:

  • Reviewing existing health & safety documentation

  • Identifying gaps against scheme requirements

  • Preparing or updating policies and procedures

  • Supporting audit submissions

  • Advising on corrective actions following feedback

You will also need an up-to-date health and safety policy. Our policies and handbooks service can create or update yours to meet SSIP requirements.

Who This Service Is For

  • Businesses preparing for CHAS, SMAS or similar audits

  • SMEs struggling with audit requirements

  • Companies that have failed or been delayed previously

You will need compliant RAMS as part of your SSIP application. Our risk assessments and method statements service provides everything you need.
