Acclaim Accreditation
What is a Acclaim Accreditation
Acclaim was created in 2012 and is a member of SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement)
SSIP is an umbrella organisation formed in 2009 to reduce the duplication of health and safety assessments.
Acclaim is the accreditation arm of Constructionline. When you join Constructionline, you will be directed to Acclaim to complete the Health and safety accreditation process to obtain the SSIP certificate.
Do I have to apply for an Acclaim at the same time as I do for a construction line?
Yes. Acclaim has been included within all paid Constructionline memberships and is no longer offered as a standalone product.
Constructionline Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum memberships include Acclaim but also offer a ‘Deem to Satisfy’ certificate for those who hold a valid SSIP with an alternative provider.
What will an Acclaim accreditation cover?
All assessments are completed using the SSIP Core Criteria as the threshold standard and cover the following:
- Health & Safety policy
- Competent Advice
- Training arrangements
- Monitoring, audit and review
- Workforce involvement
- Accident reporting and enforcement action
- Subcontracting/consulting
- Risk Assessments and Safe Systems of Work
- Cooperations with others
- Welfare provision
- Hazard elimination
How much does an assessment cost?
Fees charged by our members vary and take into account other membership fees. It is essential to recognise that all assessments are equal and all are carried out against the same standard.
If you are not sure feel free to call us for support.
How long will it take to get a certificate?
This varies from scheme to scheme and is dependent on you providing everything needed for the assessment. Typically, schemes will try to complete their initial assessment within ten working days.
