Safety Accreditation Solutions Ltd Helping Contractors Get SSIP

Construction News Image
Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) is an umbrella organisation that governs the numerous UK health and safety assessment schemes with the aim of reducing the costs and duplication for both suppliers and buyers when it comes to assessing, particularly in the construction industry. 

SSIP member schemes accredit suppliers by conducting Stage 1 Health and Safety assessments on the suppliers health and safety practices and procedures against a set SSIP core criteria endorsed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). 

What are the benefits of SSIP accreditation?

SSIP accreditation has huge benefits to both suppliers and buyers.

Suppliers with an SSIP accreditation are more credible to prospective clients. Furthermore, suppliers are only required to be accredited by one SSIP scheme rather than obtaining multiple certificates and can often be exempt from completing further health and safety sections of Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs).

The positive for Buyers is that they only need to request evidence of a suppliers SSIP accreditation to be assured that Suppliers who have been assessed and certificated by an SSIP Forum Member Scheme have achieved the initial threshold of competence to provide specific services. In addition, buyers can easily validate any accreditation certificate through the SSIP online portal.

Who are Safety Accreditation Solutions Ltd?
