Frequently Asked Questions

Answers regarding SSIP mutual recognition, statutory legal duties, and our 100% pass guarantee.

SSIP stands for Safety Schemes in Procurement. It is an overarching mutual recognition framework for contractor and supplier health and safety assessments within the UK construction industry. Holding accreditation under one recognized SSIP scheme (such as CHAS, SafeContractor, or SMAS) allows mutual recognition across alternate schemes, eliminating duplicate assessments, reducing bureaucratic overhead, and accelerating the pre-qualification cycle.

Numerous British commercial clients, local authorities, NHS trusts, and tier-one main contractors mandate SSIP accreditation as an absolute contractual condition precedent. It serves as independent, third-party validation that a supplier satisfies core threshold health and safety standards under PAS 91 and CDM 2015.

Safety Management Consultants Ltd has maintained a flawless 100% success rate across all client audit submissions for over 10 consecutive years. Our service is completely managed: our chartered consultants draft all requisite documentation, upload it directly to your accreditation portal, and include unlimited revisions until your formal certificate is granted.

Under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every UK employer is legally required to appoint one or more competent persons to assist them in undertaking measures needed to satisfy statutory safety provisions. Our retained Competent Person service fulfills this statutory duty, entitling you to submit our trading details and chartered consultant CVs in tenders.

Standard submissions take between 2 to 4 weeks depending on the assessment portal. However, if you are bidding for an imminent contract, we offer priority fast-track collation and can liaise with portal fast-track assessment desks to achieve certification in as little as 5 to 14 working days.
