What is the SMAS Accreditation?

SMAS (Safety Management Advisory Services) is one of the UK’s leading Health and Safety Accreditation schemes. It helps businesses prove they meet key safety standards required by large contractors and clients.

As a co-founder of SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement), SMAS accreditation is widely recognised across the construction and supply chain sectors. In fact, many major contractors won’t let you start work without it.

Once accredited, you’ll receive a certificate valid for 12 months. You can also apply for other SSIP accreditations using a “Deem to Satisfy” route, which we can support.

SMAS Worksafe can open doors and win you work, but the application process can be daunting. That's where we come in.

We are partners with SMAS and can offer you exclusive benefits, including discounts on our fees.
