SSIP – or the Safety Schemes in Procurement – is an umbrella organisation created following discussions between CHAS, NHBC, Exor and Constructionline, with a mission to help improve and streamline existing health and safety schemes across the UK.
The SSIP has two main functions. The first is to reduce duplication costs by cutting down on unnecessary paperwork. The second is to improve health and safety standards across industry by promoting a single, unified standard that all stakeholders can use.
It is important to note that individual contractors or firms do not become members of the SSIP. Instead, they can get accreditation through organisations, like Constructionline and CHAS that are members of the SSIP. SSIP-accredited schemes carry a lot of respect which is why companies should work to gain accreditation to ensure that their health and safety performance conforms to the standard set by the organisation.

The Benefits of SSIP Accreditation
• Prove Your Safety Credentials. Once you’ve become SSIP accredited, the details will be posted on our online SSIP portal. The portal makes it easy for anybody interested in your firm to confirm that you have the correct SSIP accreditation. If you demonstrate the proper accreditation, you’re more likely to be trusted and given work.
• Helps Prequalification for Work. Bidding for work is difficult enough. With SSIP, you can prequalify for many jobs automatically. SSIP is usually sufficient to convince most organisations that you are committed to health and safety and that you have the skills to avoid negligence.
