SafeContractor Scheme

SafeContractor is a SSIP accreditation that collects and verifies information across health, safety, financial and ethical practices – even extremely specific areas such as permits to work at height, or hazardous material handling. It even includes the common question sets defined within PAS91.


Why is this important?

Figures show that 693,000 workers sustained a non-fatal injury in 2019/20, 111 fatally.

While prioritising the health, safety and wellbeing of workers is a legal obligation for any organisation, it also makes good business sense, especially as the financial and indirect costs of getting it wrong continues to rise.

SSIP assessments are all judged on core criteria approved by HSE. These core criteria describe what it means for a business to comply with basic health and safety law.
