The simplest, fastest, most affordable Health & Safety approval with an SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) Registered Member Scheme.
We conduct assessments for organisations across a wide range of sectors including Construction, Engineering, Education, Local Authorities, Transport, Health & Social Care.
Our questions adapt depending upon the type of organisation we are assessing and the number of workers, ensuring you a proportionate assessment whether you are a busy builder, locksmith, trainer, or domiciliary care provider.
You simply register your organisation via our 3 step registration wizard and then purchase the SSIP Health & Safety Assessment. The assessment is conducted via the portal after you answer various questions and upload any documentary evidence requested.
When a contractor is SSIP certified, it means their health and safety management processes have been evaluated and meet the HSE backed, SSIP Core Criteria.
