Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS)
CHAS accreditation ensures contractors maintain the best risk management practices and meet the industry standards. With this accreditation, contractors can showcase their skills to clients and demonstrate proficiency in mitigating risks. Apart from reviewing risk management strategies, CHAS also audits compliance with health and safety management systems before issuing certification to carry out demolition projects.
The accreditations save time for many contractors during the tendering process. A company with CHAS certification does not need to fill the pre-qualification questionnaires since the health and safety questions are part of the accreditation process. What benefits does CHAS accreditation provide to demolition businesses and clients?
• Assessment of health and safety policy ensures the demolition methods do not cause damage to the environment.
• Through training, consultation, monitoring and regular review of safety protocols, contractors can maintain the best practices in the market.
• With the CHAS assessment, contractors can ascertain that the equipment and tools used for demolition meet the acceptable standards of their clients.
• Clear understanding of risk management safeguards clients from risks associated with demolition projects.

Considerate Constructors
The Considerate Constructors Scheme offers certification that symbolises the consideration that demolition services have towards the environment and the public. The scheme is an independent not-for-profit organisation whose focus is to uphold the standards in the construction industry. Most contractors register voluntarily with the scheme and abide by the Code of Considerate Practice, promoting the preservation of the environment beyond the statutory requirements.
With this accreditation, a company proves compliance with safe operational processes that protect the workforce, the public and the environment. Demolition projects can have a significant impact, especially if they are near residential areas or public amenities.

Demolition contractors with Considerate Constructors Scheme accreditation present competent management, efficiency and concern for environmental issues. It also shows that the contractor respects the community and values its workforce, which creates a positive image of the company.
