CHAS - Contractors Health & Safety

• CHAS is a recognised industry accreditation. By having this accreditation demonstrates Uprise's compliance with basic health and safety legislation and also shows that as a company we are capable of managing health & safety.
• The purpose of the CHAS scheme is to provide assessment criteria that health and safety professionals (or other officers/consultants acting on behalf of an organisation) can apply to the health and safety element of a company. The scheme assesses adequacy and compliance of the health and safety policy statement, organisation for health and safety and specific arrangements to a single, common standard acceptable to CHAS members and users. Selecting contractors who have demonstrated these standards goes some way to ensuring, so far is reasonably practicable, compliance with health and safety law.
