GM Safety
GM Safety have been independent safety advisors for over 10-years and Gary Magee became a Chartered Member of IOSH in 2016. They assist over 50 SMEs with their safety management systems and associated actions.
They encourage all of their clients to gain an SSIP accreditation and Gary Magee said that “CHAS are very much our preferred provider”
The Problem
If you fill out Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs) when tendering for work, an SSIP accreditation tells your prospective client that you work safely. Even when dealing with smaller companies or domestic clients, the accreditation gives them peace of mind knowing that your health and safety management systems have been audited by a third party. We were looking to simplify this process and reduce the amount of time spent in this area.
I personally like SSIP accreditations because I am trying to get busy business owners and managers to review their policies and risk assessments, consult with their staff and to carry out safety audits. The annual SSIP accreditation renewal really pushes these and other important actions up the priority ladder.
The Solution
I recommend CHAS to our clients as it seems to be the most recognised of the SSIP accreditations. Even people who do not know what SSIP is have seen the distinctive stickers on thousands of builders’ vans. From my extensive experience of using CHAS, I have found them to be helpful, their portal is easy to use for the application, they are very competitively priced and their response time is very quick. Two recent applications for CHAS Advanced and CHAS Elite that I assisted Steele Quality Interiors Ltd and Heritage Power Ltd with respectively were both accredited within four days, amazing responses.
The Outcome
Obviously, I care about the quality and service provided by the companies that I recommend. From research, CHAS are a very ethical company.
I would wholeheartedly recommend CHAS to anybody working in construction & I am about to assist my first non-construction customer through the process.”
