Why Use SafeWise to Support You With Your Safety Accreditations?
Achieving safety accreditations like CHAS, SafeContractor, SMAS, Constructionline and others can feel overwhelming, especially when assessors request detailed evidence, policies, and proof of compliance. For many businesses, the process is time consuming, confusing, and often frustrating.
SafeWise streamlines the process and reduces delays. You still provide your company‑specific evidence, but we handle the heavy lifting and know exactly what assessors expect to see. Support starts at £550 plus VAT.
With over 10 years of experience supporting companies across the UK, SafeWise helps you navigate accreditation requirements with confidence, clarity, and efficiency.
Below is a comprehensive FAQ that explains how our support works, what you need to provide, and why partnering with SafeWise makes the accreditation process faster, clearer, and far less stressful.
FAQs
What is the process when SafeWise supports our accreditation?
Once you hold your own membership with the accreditation scheme (e.g., CHAS, SafeContractor, SMAS, Constructionline), we guide you through each stage of the application.
Our process typically includes:
- reviewing your current documentation
- advising what company‑specific evidence is required
- preparing compliant policies and templates
- uploading and organising your evidence
- responding to assessor queries on your behalf
- ensuring your submission meets the scheme’s standards
You remain responsible for providing business‑specific evidence (such as insurances and accident statistics etc.), but we handle the time‑consuming parts and ensure everything is presented correctly.
How do we get started?
You simply:
- Purchase or renew your Accreditation Membership and pay the fee directly with the accreditation scheme.
- Tell us the level you need and book our assistance. Choose the level you want, or the scheme set by your client.
- Send us your existing documents and evidence (training records, insurance, RAMS etc.)
- We take it from there, preparing your submission and managing assessor queries until approval.
Do we need our own membership with the accreditation scheme?
Yes. SafeWise supports the application process, but you must hold your own membership with the scheme before we can begin. This ensures the accreditation is registered in your company’s name and remains fully under your control.
What level of accreditation do we need?
This depends on your work and client requirements.
- You can choose the level that best suits your business, or
- Your client may specify the level required for tendering or ongoing work.
We can advise on the differences between levels and what evidence each one requires.
How much does SafeWise’s accreditation support cost?
Our support starts at £550 + VAT per accreditation. This includes full guidance, document preparation, evidence organisation, and assessor response management. Discounts are available for multiple accreditations, so contact us about this on 01922 279129
Do SafeWise handle the whole accreditation for us?
We manage the full process, from preparing documentation to responding to assessor queries, but you still need to provide company specific evidence such as training records, risk assessments, insurance documents and any operational procedures unique to your business.
Can SafeWise help with the Building Safety Act requirements?
Yes. As part of the accreditation process, SafeWise can support you with the new Building Safety Act evidence section. We incorporate your company‑specific information where required and ensure your submission meets the updated legal expectations.
Do SafeWise handle assessor queries for us?
Absolutely. We respond to assessors directly, advise what additional evidence is needed, and help you provide it quickly and correctly. This significantly reduces delays and keeps your application moving.
Will SafeWise save us time?
Yes. We have experience of knowing what assessors look for, which avoids unnecessary back‑and‑forth and speeds up approval. Clients regularly tell us the process is much quicker and far less stressful with our support.
Do you provide the policies and templates we need?
We supply compliant templates and can update your existing documents to meet accreditation standards. You simply provide the business‑specific details that make them accurate to your business.
Can you help if an assessor asks for more evidence?
Absolutely. We handle assessor queries, advise what additional evidence is needed, and help you respond quickly and correctly to keep your application moving.
Which accreditations can SafeWise support with?
We support most major schemes, including CHAS, SafeContractor, SMAS, Constructionline, CQMS, and Altius. You can view the details on our Safety Accreditations page.
Do we still stay in control of the application?
