SSIP

Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP)

Demonstrating robust health and safety practices is essential in construction. As a Certification Body Member of SSIP, TÜV UK offers SSIP together with ISO 45001 certification, helping organisations simplify their health and safety assessments and enhance their credibility in the marketplace.

SSIP is an umbrella organisation, supported by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), facilitating mutual recognition between over 20 existing health and safety pre-qualification schemes such as CHAS, SafeContractor, Exor, NHBC, and Altius where practicable. For a full list of applicable schemes and more information check out the SSIP website.

Benefits of SSIP Certification

Simplified Compliance: SSIP accreditation reduces the need for multiple health and safety assessments, saving time and resources.
Enhanced Market Access: Certification opens doors to new business opportunities by demonstrating your commitment to health and safety.
Improved Reputation: Being SSIP certified enhances your organisation's reputation as a responsible and safety-conscious supplier.
Cost Efficiency: Streamlined processes lead to reduced administrative costs and improved operational efficiency.
Competitive Advantage: Stand out in the marketplace by showcasing your dedication to maintaining high health and safety standards.

How to Become SSIP Certified?

If your organisation is construction-related, (e.g. you act as Principle Contractor / Contractor / Principal Designer / Designer or any other kind of supplier) and holds a valid ISO 45001 certificate with TÜV UK, SSIP can be added to your certification for a modest annual administration fee and with minimal difference in the auditing and certification process. Following a successful audit, you will be registered on the SSIP web portal and considered “Deemed to Satisfy” the H&S requirements of SSIP Registered Members.

Currently in excess of 84,000 suppliers are registered with an SSIP Member Scheme and this information is readily accessible via the SSIP web portal which is free to access and provides an easy way of finding out if a supplier holds valid certification with an SSIP member scheme and confirms compliance with the SSIP Core Criteria and UK H&S Legislation.

Considering ISO 45001 Certification?

ISO 45001 is the internationally recognised standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. Certification to this Standard demonstrates that your organisation promotes a healthy and safe working environment by providing a framework that allows it to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and continually improve overall performance.
