CHAS new E form Process
In 2016 CHAS have introduced a new system where you can apply for your CHAS direct on their online portal. Previously you were only able to pay online and had to submit your documents separately.
The online E form Process is not available for groups or for other members of the SSIP umbrella group they need to contact chas.admin@chas.co.uk. You will also need to use the old way of applying if you a Designers or Principal Designer.
The new process is different as you will need to pay for your CHAS on submission. Before you start your application you need to make sure you have everything you need to hand in electronic format:
Examples of Risk assessments and Method Statements in situ on previous jobs
COSHH Assessments specific to your business
Evidence of Health & Safety Training specific to your business and employees
Evidence of Contractor Management & Competence Assessment
plus other necessary documents
valid payment method
Once you have everything in place start the process by clicking here:
Once you have made payment your application will be assigned to an assessor and they will login and commence the assessment. The assessment can take up to 10 working days and this can result in a pass or feedback requiring more information. All updates will be sent to you via the E Forms system.
The assessment process remains the same whereby, if more information is needed you will need to provide this to get your certificate.
Using the E Forms system means that once you have been passed by the assessor a confirmation letter and an electronic copy of your certificate will be uploaded to your account. You will then receive a hard copy of the certificate & accreditation pack post within 10 working days.
If you are unsure if you have the right information or would like some support to complete the accreditation please get in touch.

CHAS Accreditation, is a government run (not for profit) scheme administered by the London Borough of Merton. CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) has been developed and refined over a number of years by local government health and safety and procurement professionals, with the support of the Health and Safety Executive.
Although CHAS has been developed by government bodies, it is available for use by any public and private sector organization as an aid when short listing contractors, suppliers and consultants who apply to work for them. CHAS provides information and assurances about the health and safety systems and competences of the organizations who have been CHAS assessed or are registered as CHAS accredited.
To become registered with CHAS, organizations have to submit an application to CHAS and then have a CHAS assessment carried out. By doing so their potential clients know that they meet minimum acceptable standards of health and safety compliance. Clients from both the public and private sectors use CHAS to make assessments of contractors in this way.
Once the CHAS application has been approved for an organization, their details are uploaded to the CHAS database where client members of the Scheme can review an organizations details to check that they are in fact CHAS registered. One of the benefits to contractors is that by making a successful CHAS application, they can demonstrate to a wide number of potential clients that they achieve or exceed the minimum standards laid down by the assessment scheme.
Furthermore with the implementation of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM), there are stricter requirements on Clients and Principal Contractors to ensure that they only employ ‘Competent Contractors’. CHAS has been named in the CDM Regulations by the Health and Safety Executive as being one of the assessment schemes that can be used when demonstrating your competence as an organization.
If you have any questions on CHAS and how to submit and application please get in touch.
