How CHAS supports the manufacturing industry

Manufacturing is one of the highest risk industrial sectors to be working in, according to injuries and fatalities reported by the HSE*. This is primarily because Manufacturing faces multiple challenges and threats when it comes to mitigating risk.

Supply chain risks, including those associated with the environment, financial health, professional standing, and quality management, can determine the success of manufacturing operations. CHAS supports contractors (suppliers) and clients (buyers) in the manufacturing industry by delivering a full suite of compliance and risk management solutions

At CHAS, we’re committed to making the manufacturing industry safer, more sustainable, ethical, and productive. We offer scalable compliance packages and supply chain risk management solutions tailored to manufacturing organisations of all sizes.

CHAS for manufacturing contractors

Streamline assessment and say goodbye to PQQ duplication

We’ve simplified the process of achieving and renewing your compliance by eliminating prequalification questionnaire (PQQ) duplication. With CHAS, you’ll save both time and money by completing all your risk assessments with a single assessment body.

CHAS members access industry-recognised compliance and risk management solutions that cover up to 13 types of supply chain risks. We are pioneers and co-founders of three leading assessment schemes: SSIP and the Common Assessment Standard. This means we are perfectly positioned to provide all the risk management services you need under one roof.

Get expert support and insights on risk management in manufacturing

Our expert team can help you identify and mitigate a wide range of risks in the manufacturing industry with our award-winning assessments. With CHAS, you can demonstrate compliance with regulations such as the Health and Safety at Work Act, Environment Act 2021, CDM (2015) Regulations and more.

Prevent damage to your reputation
