Tricel Water: Proudly CHAS-Accredited for Exceptional Health & Safety Standards
At Tricel Water, we’re committed to excellence in health, safety, and risk management. As part of this commitment, we are proud to hold CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) accreditation, a trusted mark of quality across the UK.
What Is CHAS Accreditation?
CHAS stands for Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme, the UK’s leading contractor health and safety accreditation system. One of the founding members of the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP), CHAS helps organisations demonstrate consistent, high standards in health and safety. iHascoCHAS
Why CHAS Accreditation Matters
- Demonstrates Legal Compliance and Risk Management
CHAS assesses your health and safety management systems—including policies, training, risk-assessments, and incident records—carried out by NEBOSH-qualified assessors. This ensures full alignment with both UK HSE requirements and SSIP standards. CHASiHasco
- Streamlines Tendering and Prequalification
Once certified, Tricel Water is listed in the CHAS database and can bypass repetitive PQQs (Pre-Qualification Questionnaires), which saves time and effort when bidding for contracts—particularly with public-sector clients. THS Websitehaspod.com
- Unlocks New Business Opportunities
CHAS accreditation grants access to over 2,500 clients via the VeriforceONE Client Portal, allowing potential clients to see our verified compliance and inviting new work opportunities. CHAS+2CHAS+2
- Enhances Trust and Reputation
Displaying the CHAS logo communicates professionalism, reliability, and robust health and safety standards—an essential boost for client confidence. iSafeTHS Website
