SMAS Worksafe is another SSIP-recognised pre-qualification scheme for UK contractors, focused on health and safety management. Like CHAS and SafeContractor, it audits the company's H&S documentation, accident records, training and management responsibility — and once you hold one SSIP-aligned certificate, the data is reusable across the others to save duplication.
Issued by
SMAS (Safety Management Advisory Services Ltd), SSIP-registered.
Why it matters
If your buying organisation accepts any SSIP scheme, SMAS works as well as CHAS or SafeContractor. Cost and ease-of-use vary across the three — the right one depends on which scheme your principal contractor's procurement portal supports.
Questions to ask a provider
- Which SSIP-aligned scheme do you primarily hold?
