SMAS

SMAS is a leading Accreditation Scheme that is proving ever more popular with main contractors who want to assure themselves of the health and safety compliance of their sub contract companies. Many companies are now insisting that their suppliers and sub-contractors be accredited before they contract with them.

To the inexperienced business, SMAS looks like a lengthy bureaucratic process, to us it is just a series of processes that do not faze us at all. The key is in giving the assessors what they want first time, with evidence to back up your claims, to avoid any rejections.

What is the SMAS Accreditation?

The SMAS Accreditation is a nationally recognised Health & Safety accreditation used to demonstrate a business’ Health & Safety Standards that will establish that your business is safe to work with.

The accreditation takes 3-5 days to complete, and you will have full contact your assessor throughout the process.

What do SMAS Assess?

As part of the SMAS accreditation, the assessment will assess certain areas of Health and Safety (SSIP) to determine your level of understanding to meet the minimum health and safety standards.

What happens when I achieve the SMAS Accreditation?

You will be issued a certificate of completion valid for 12 months which will signify that you have met the relevant H&S standards. You will also be able to apply for other SSIP Accreditations under mutual recognition should you wish, this being achieved by completing a ‘Deem to Satisfy’ which we can help with if you so wish.

Our Service & Promise

Fixed Fee Service

With our help and guidance, and for a fixed fee (irrespective of how many submissions your paperwork may take) we will assist you in the accreditation process, enabling you to focus on doing what you do best, running your own business.

A Dedicated, Qualified Health & Safety Administrator

A dedicated member of our team will liaise with you to discuss your existing health and safety systems and then get to work on the application.

The chances are that you probably have a lot of systems in place already but perhaps haven’t written them down formally. What we’ll do is put together a tangible application that allows you to demonstrate this to the assessor, which will then help lead to your accreditation.

Money Back Guarantee

In the unlikely event you do not achieve accreditation, provided you have followed all our advice, implemented the systems, and returned the required evidence, then we will fully refund the monies paid to us.

Note – Accreditation body fees are payable directly to them and are in addition to this and so are not refundable.

Which SSIP Do I Need?

Health and Safety should be an integral part of your business and there are many different accreditation schemes which allow you to highlight your competence and best practices in health and safety, but how do I know which one to apply for?
