CHAS Requirements Checker — Is Your Documentation Ready?
Check whether your documents meet common CHAS health and safety pre-qualification requirements before you apply. Avoid wasting your application fee on a submission with missing or weak evidence.
What CHAS-Style H&S Assessments Typically Focus On
CHAS assesses contractors against the core SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) standard. Here are the evidence areas typically assessed:
Common Reasons CHAS Applications Struggle
Unsigned or undated H&S Policy
Schemes require a signed, dated policy as evidence of commitment
Insurance certificate in trading name only
Must match the registered company name used in the application
Generic or template RAMS
RAMS must be task-specific and site-specific to pass
No CSCS evidence for trade operatives
Card evidence must match the declared trade category
Missing first aid or fire arrangements
Required as standalone documented arrangements, not just mentioned in H&S policy
How NAS Checks Your Documents
When you apply for NAS certification, every uploaded document is read and checked against the requirement it evidences, then reviewed and signed off by a qualified assessor. Typical issues found include:
- Missing documents that are required for CHAS assessment
- Policies that are unsigned, undated, or lack required sections
- Insurance certificates with mismatched company names or expired dates
- RAMS that appear generic rather than task/site-specific
- Training records where CSCS cards are absent or don't match declared trade
