Quickslide has been awarded a Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) certificate of accreditation, which is a standard of health and safety accreditation in procurement within the construction industry. CHAS is the UK’s long-established third-party guarantee of a business’ high standards of health and safety competence. While not a legal requirement for a business, it is often a prerequisite of tender processes, particularly for commercial house-building and public sector projects.
The team at Quickslide underwent a thorough assessment of its health and safety management systems before being awarded the CHAS standard. The fabricator’s leaders were then issued with certification and the CHAS logo to display. The certificate and logo demonstrates proof of compliance against the CHAS standards in line with the requirements of Safety Schemes in Procurement and UK health and safety legislation. It is valid for one year.
“CHAS accreditation is another way for UK house builders to know, at a glance, that they can have full confidence in our business,” said Ben Weber, Quickslide’s managing director. “CHAS has been around a long time and is well regarded in our industry. This accreditation recognises our commitment to high standards of health and safety, and gives assurance that we meet all the required standards and comply with current legislation.
“In addition, being a CHAS-accredited supplier gives our customers a head start when it comes to tendering for work, helping avoid lengthy and time-consuming paperwork that might otherwise be required during the pre-qualification process.” Read more about Quickslide on the business’ website.
