Chas - The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme
Tufwell Glass have been registered with CHAS
CHAS assesses supplier’s health and safety competence which is usually a lengthy and time consuming process. Suppliers can sometimes meet one buyer’s Health and Safety standards but not another. Being CHAS approved reduces duplication as suppliers compliance is accepted by all CHAS buyers.
Benefits of participating in the CHAS scheme helps both suppliers and buyers show compliance with important parts of health and safety law, helps show compliance that a supplier is approved to work for all CHAS' buyers, reduces inconsistencies where some suppliers may be judged compliant by one buyer but not another and gives guidance on any weaknesses in a supplier's safety management, including how they can improve.
CHAS assesses applicants Health and safety policy statement, their organisation for health and safety and their specific health and safety arrangements to a standard acceptable to our buyers and to others.
All CHAS Assessors are NEBOSH qualified, practicing health and safety professionals who also attend CHAS specific training on a regular basis. CHAS currently has a team of over 130 accredited assessors.
Successfully completing the programme reiterates Tufwell dedication to providing quality products and services as well as our compliance and commitment to our customers increasing demands regarding health and safety, environmental and corporate governance.
