Accreditations
We currently hold our up-to date CHAS Accreditation
Health and safety is one of our top priorities, be it our employees, the public or scaffolding users. Thats why we work hard developing our heath and safety standards. Our hard work can be seen by us meeting the requirements of CHAS year on year alongside our track record of perfect onsite safety.
CHAS assesses applicants on:
-
Health and safety policy statement;
-
Their organisation for health and safety;
-
Their specific health and safety arrangements to a standard acceptable to our buyers and to others.
