Bluespace attain CHAS accreditation

We have gained accreditation under the Contractor’s Health and Safety Assessment Scheme.

CHAS is established as the market leader for health and safety pre-qualification in the UK. It is a non-commercial scheme available to suppliers (those who provide goods and services) and to organisations (buyers) looking for suitably competent suppliers.

Each month thousands of contractors and consultants (suppliers) apply for work with public and private sector organisations (buyers). To win work, they must meet their client’s health and safety standards. Assessing supplier’s health and safety competence is usually a lengthy and time consuming process. Suppliers can sometimes meet one Health and Safety standards but not another. Being CHAS approved reduces duplication as suppliers compliance is accepted by all CHAS buyers.

CHAS assesses applicants:

1. Health and safety policy statement;
   2. Their organisation for health and safety;
   3. Their specific health and safety arrangements to a standard acceptable to our buyers and to others

Bluespace were assessed during early summer during 2009 and were found to be fully compliant and have recently gained accreditation.
