BENEFITS OF CHAS
It will cost you a bit of money to become CHAS accredited. However, the benefits of the being a member of CHAS outweigh your original outlay, as you are more likely to win contracts and generate more money and business by having CHAS in place.
We are frequently told by clients and contractors that you have been instructed to become a member of CHAS mid contract or before you are even considered to be on a tender list. Therefore, it is commercially essential for you to have CHAS in place in order to win contracts, as you do not want to miss out on potential work and be excluded from a tender list.
- CHAS Accreditations can create more work opportunities by enabling you to work with local authorities, hospitals, schools, universities and construction companies. You will be considered a CHAS approved contractor and are more likely to secure work with these organisations in the future.
- CHAS brings credibility to your business; recognised as one of the highest standards of safety you can reassure your client that you are both professional and safety conscious.
- CHAS enables you to tender for your own work. You may be a subcontractor with plenty of experience in your field but not have the health and safety paperwork and arrangements in place.
- Many large organisations use the CHAS database in order to search for contractors. Make it easier for them to find you and increase your work opportunities.
- In addition to the discussed benefits, an obvious advertising benefit is the use of the recognised logo. Many clients and contractors display the CHAS logo on their work vehicles, paperwork and email signatures to show their competency.
