CHAS Accreditation and why it is important

The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) accreditation is widely accepted as a verification of the reliability of a construction company, an indicator of the quality of their work, and a reassurance that a high level of respect will be shown to everyone inside the company and outside of the organisation.

We are proud to be CHAS-accredited, and place the precepts of the organisation at the centre of everything we do. Here are several of the reasons why we are proud to be CHAS-accredited:

Compliance

We diligently comply with essential health and safety laws to protect our team members, contractors and everyone else we may be working with. CHAS provides the framework that has standardised the standards for health and safety.

Reputation

Because CHAS is so widely recognised in the industry, being accredited builds trust among our stakeholders, strategic partners, clients and team members. Displaying the CHAS logo is a signal to all that we prioritise safe practices.

Risk Management

Construction has the potential to be dangerous, being CHAS compliant helps us manage that risk by ensuring a safe work environment.

Efficiency and Productivity

Here at Imperial Integrated Systems, we are committed to continually improving our processes in relation to our health and safety adherence. This makes us not only safer but also more productive. Tasks that were previously time consuming become more efficient.

Our priority is the safety of all around us, and as a byproduct of that care, we also reduce downtime caused by accidents. Risk assessments can facilitate further process improvements.

Employee Morale and Retention

Going through the CHAS assessment also has a positive effect on our team members. A safe, productive, engaged workplace helps nurture well-being among our team members. Happy employees stay in jobs they enjoy. We include prioritising safe working conditions so that our employees are not only protected but so that they know they are protected.

Social responsibility

Being CHAS-accredited shows the world that we are not only committed to safe working practices but also that we are committed to ethical practices. We believe that the way our company is perceived is directly impacted by our practices and the safety of our employees.

In conclusion, CHAS accreditation is about so much more than health and safety compliance, reliability and productivity. It reflects our dedication to maintaining a safe working environment that helps Imperial Integrated Systems grow and improve as a company.
