HEALTH & SAFETY ACCREDITATION
SSIP Assistance
Documentation guidance and practical support for CHAS and other Safety Schemes in Procurement applications.
GETTING ACCREDITED
Support with your SSIP application
Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) is associated with UK health and safety compliance, risk mitigation and supply-chain management. Accreditation can help protect your reputation and support business growth.
Eryri Consulting provides documentation, telephone and email support. You are responsible for completing your online SSIP application. This approach encourages you to take ownership of your health and safety management system rather than treating accreditation as a tick-box exercise.
Our consultancy time can be used more productively on practical activities, such as site inspections. The original page also explains that Eryri's ISO 27001:2022 certification arrangements prevent it from storing clients' website login details.
Some requirements may not apply to your chosen SSIP package. Document templates can be purchased online or may be included as part of an Eryri retained contract.
