CHAS accreditation,
done for you
NOETA takes your existing documents, maps them against the SSIP Core Criteria, identifies gaps, prepares missing documents, and delivers a submission-ready evidence pack.
Background
What is CHAS?
CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is the UK's leading SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) member scheme. It provides a single point of pre-qualification for contractors wanting to work with major clients, local authorities, housing associations, and principal contractors.
CHAS Standard accreditation demonstrates that your company meets the 15 SSIP Core Criteria — the baseline H&S competence standard recognised across the construction industry.
Without it, you cannot appear on many approved contractor lists. Procurement teams rely on CHAS to verify health and safety capability before awarding work.

Process
What NOETA does
Structured intake
We ask exactly what CHAS needs to know — your company profile, activities, workforce, H&S arrangements, and insurance. This drives every subsequent check.
Document analysis
Upload your existing policies, risk assessments, insurance certificates, and training records. NOETA reads each document and extracts the structured data CHAS assessors look for.
Gap identification
Every gap is explained in plain language. You see exactly what is missing, what is present but inadequate, and what passes without issue.
Document preparation
Where documents are missing or inadequate, NOETA prepares a trade-specific draft for you to review. H&S policies, risk assessments, incident logs — all tailored to your company.
Submission pack
