Your Guide to Become SSIP Accredited
If your business operates in construction or any sector where health and safety is paramount, you’ve likely heard of SSIP — the Safety Schemes in Procurement. SSIP was formed through collaboration between CHAS, NHBC, Exor and Constructionline with a clear mission: to streamline health and safety assessments across the UK and create a unified standard everyone can trust.
What SSIP Actually Does
SSIP focuses on two core goals:
- Cutting unnecessary duplication – Many companies find themselves completing multiple, repetitive health and safety assessments. SSIP reduces this burden by encouraging mutual recognition between member schemes.
- Raising health and safety standards industry-wide – By promoting one recognised benchmark, SSIP helps ensure consistency and clarity for contractors, clients and accrediting bodies.
It’s important to note that individual contractors don’t become SSIP members directly. Instead, they achieve SSIP accreditation through recognised member schemes such as CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS and others. Earning accreditation demonstrates that your business meets the rigorous health and safety standards endorsed by SSIP — something that carries significant weight in today’s marketplace.
