The SMAS Worksafe Scheme is a national health and safety scheme used by many leading House Builders and Construction companies across the industry and is a member of the Safety Scheme in Procurement (SSIP) Forum, which is actively supported by the HSE.
The HSE recognise that an assessment carried out by any of the member schemes satisfies the requirements of the Core Criteria. Any client wishing to procure the services of a business which has achieved accreditation can be confident that a reasonable and robust judgement has been made that the standard for competency in CDM 2007 has been met, for the first stage of procurement.
