CHAS Testimonials
Suppliers
The whole process prior to starting the application seemed very daunting and we imagined being overrun with paperwork. However, our assessor was very helpful and
constructive with his guidance. He made the entire process straight forward & showed a level
of patience that can only be termed as an asset. If anyone is in two minds as to whether to
apply or not, the process is straight forward and manageable. If you have any problems your
assessor is there to help. I highly commend the entire team for their level of competence
and support.
David Brough, Sunshade Services Ltd, 2012
A surprisingly and refreshingly smooth audit process throughout after all the quite scarey
tactics we
had heard from agencies etc to gain compliance through their organizations.
Very impressed with all aspects of CHAS. Many thanks to you and the assessor that dealt with our application to a very professional level.

If the 'trade' had the awareness to understand how user friendly the system of becoming accredited is many more would apply.
On applying for registration we considered it may be another scheme,
whilst needing to pre qualify would not be of use and another cost burden.
However we have been proved wrong and our systems have been improved which benefits all
and we are proud to display the Chas logo.

Joining CHAS was far less daunting than we anticipated. External consultants had caused
undue worry about how difficult it would be to join.
We then spoke to members of your staff who were very reasuring and guided us
through the process with ease.

My assessor was a dedicated professional who conveyed high standards and ensured that we as a company met those very same standards.
When we initially sought CHAS Accreditation in 2010, I must admit that as a
safety professional I was a little bit sceptical of the scheme.
However on regaining the Accreditation recently, I can now see its benefits and the improvements
we have made as a company regarding safety over the last year.
Many thanks to all involved in delivering the CHAS Scheme.

Policy.

CHAS is the best and most thorough safety accreditation system that Randall Contracting & Plant Group have found throughout our 40 years experience in the UK. In particular we greatly appreciate that CHAS deals directly with the company rather than 3rd parties i.e. consultants.

Rather than 'computer says no!' a common sense approach was taken
when our company was assessed for CHAS.

since joining CHAS, we certainly wouldn't like to see a
fallback in standards without CHAS.

I have to say that I am very impressed that you recognise safe contractor in
this application which, minimises duplicate form filling and of course
the cost of the accreditation. You don’t often come across a company with
a fresh ‘sensible’ approach.
