Need to boost your competitive edge and win more business?
Richardson-Hill Accreditation assistance will help do just that.
Each month thousands of contractors and consultants (suppliers) apply for work with public and private sector organisations (buyers). To win work, they must meet the buyer’s health and safety standards.
Assessing suppliers health and safety competence is usually a lengthy and time consuming process. Suppliers can sometimes meet one buyer’s Health and Safety standards but not another. Having accreditations such as CHAS, ConstructionLine, Exor etc reduces duplication as suppliers compliance is accepted by all buyers associated with these schemes.
These schemes have really taken off and have now been adopted by the majority of local authorities and large construction companies. The accreditation schemes can really be used to market your company as safety conscious and professional and in the current climate this can be the difference in winning and losing out on tenders.
The accreditation schemes require you to have a recognised standard of health and safety management and covers compliance issues regarding your field of work. Some of the main areas that will be assessed as part of your application processes are likely to include but are not limited:
- Health & Safety Arrangements
- Safety Policy Statement
- Work Equipment Procedures
- Health and Safety Training
- Employee Consultation Arrangements
- First Aid Provision and Risk Assessments
