NAS Certification for
Industrial & Manufacturing Contractors
Independent, evidence-based compliance certification for contractors working in manufacturing facilities, industrial sites, and engineering supply chains.
Demonstrate COSHH, CDM, and environmental compliance to manufacturing clients, plant managers, and industrial procurement teams with a live certification profile.
Why It Matters
Industrial Clients Demand the Highest Compliance Standards
Manufacturing and industrial operators have zero tolerance for non-compliance. Contractors accessing their facilities must demonstrate COSHH procedures, permit-to-work compliance, CDM standards, and environmental controls — before work starts.
NAS certification gives manufacturing procurement teams independently assessed evidence that contractors meet the compliance standards required in high-hazard industrial environments.
