CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Scheme)
A CHAS assessment makes sure supplying companies have compliance with basic health and safety law and have demonstrated that they can adequately manage health and safety. A fundamental principle of CHAS is to help companies improve their safety management should they fail. They give guidance on any areas of weakness and provide the encouragement and opportunity for improvement.
CSCS
The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card is the industry's largest scheme and, at present, covers 220 occupations including trades, technical, supervisory and management.
CSCS cards list the holder’s qualifications and are valid for either three or five years. It also shows they have health and safety awareness as all cardholders have to pass the appropriate CITB-ConstructionSkills Health and Safety Test.
Most contractors and clients now demand proof of competence, before allowing workers onto their sites, which is provided by a CSCS card.
