CHAS Scheme
CHAS Scheme:
The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) is one of the UK’s most trusted compliance and risk management accreditations. CHAS is all about making supply chains safer and more efficient. It helps companies show they’re serious about keeping health and safety standards high, while minimising operational risk.
CHAS is a valued brand in the UK across construction, education, housing, facilities management, and development. As a founder of Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) and a founding member of the Common Assessment Standard, it helps both contractors and clients be assured that they have met important compliance standards.
Obtaining CHAS accreditation will help your business stand out and positively influence third-party perception of your organisation; moreover, it gives you a competitive advantage. It illustrates that you have adequate safety management, are compliant, and capable. When a business aims to grow in the UK, gaining CHAS approval indicates that the business is professional, reliable, and genuinely accepts its responsibility to keep its workplace safe.

Procedure for CHAS SCHEME
A gap analysis is a systematic process of looking at the difference between where the business is and where it intends to go. By identifying these gaps, organisations will prioritise actions, allocate resources effectively, and focus on those actions that will have the greatest impact. Gap analysis improves decision-making and demonstrates the pathway to long-term business success.
Once you have finished a gap analysis, it is time for development and implementation.
At BizGrow Holdings, if there are any documents, processes, or procedures missing in your organisation, we will develop and integrate your documents into the BizGrow QMS System, which is securely stored, paperless, and user-friendly online. In addition to the development of documents for compliance purposes, it elevates your quality management practices with features such as document control, configurable web portal forms, secure cloud storage, as well as custom email templates.
Once development is complete, focus turns to activating the new documents and processes. This important step closes the anticipated shortfalls, enhances the organisation’s compliance, identifies opportunities for improved operational efficiency, and triggers long-term sustainable growth.
