Why Require NAS From Your Subcontractors?

As a principal contractor, you carry responsibility for your supply chain's compliance under CDM Regulations and wider UK law. Self-declaration isn't enough — you need independently verified evidence.

The Risk Without It

Subcontractors without evidenced H&S compliance expose you to CDM enforcement action and HSE prosecution
Building Regulations breaches by uncertified subcontractors can trigger warranty voidance and NHBC issues
Modern Slavery Act non-compliance in your supply chain creates legal liability at principal contractor level
An Environmental Protection Act breach by a subcontractor on your site is your problem too
Pre-qualification relying on self-declaration alone won't withstand scrutiny from NHBC or building control
Reputational damage from a non-compliant subcontractor incident on a live development is difficult to recover from

Why Requiring NAS Protects You
