What is the SafeContractor Accreditation?
SafeContractor is one of the UK’s leading health and safety accreditation schemes, designed to prove that your business meets essential health and safety standards. It’s a recognised SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) member and is widely required by local authorities, construction firms, and large organisations.
The SafeContractor PQQ (SafePQQ) Health and Safety Pre-Approval Scheme helps you demonstrate to potential clients that you meet health and safety standards and corporate responsibility requirements.
It is pretty standard for large organisations and local authorities to be SafeContractor-approved and have the accreditation in place to employ you to do work.
The SafeContractor Accreditation process can open more doors for your business to win more contracts and tender for work directly rather than through a third party.
Become SafeContractor accredited and win new contracts, increase credibility, and streamline the tendering process by reducing paperwork.

The short answer is yes. Both CHAS and SafeContractor are SSIP schemes that ensure your health and safety practices are of the highest order. Traditionally, both of these certifications are needed for acquiring the necessary certifications to obtain larger jobs.
Simply put, both accreditations are just as good as the other. Whether CHAS or SafeContractor is better completely depends on your business. Both accreditations can improve your businesses health and safety standards.
