ARCA continues to offer asbestos removal members an efficient and cost-effective route to CHAS (H&S) accreditation.
From 1st July 2020 the application and assessment process when applying for or renewing CHAS (H&S) accreditation will change.
CHAS has amended the assessment process to be in line with the SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) requirement for all schemes to see greater evidence of all the requirements needed for accreditation. What does this mean for ARCA Members? A member company will need to complete the online application process, which includes a declaration, and upload documentation as evidence to support the application, in the new CHAS / ARCA Portal Please note that all sections must be completed for a successful submission. Once the application is submitted, ARCA will be automatically notified. An ARCA assessor can then access and audit the documentation, prior to CHAS accreditation confirmation. What is the cost to an ARCA Member? When applying for CHAS (H&S), organisations need to confirm total number of employees (office and site staff), as the cost of accreditation is banded. Information on the costs for all bands is available in the ARCA Members’ portal. For example, companies with 16 - 30 employees would pay £465 if applying directly to CHAS, whereas ARCA members can obtain a 25% discount (available across all bandings) when applying via ARCA.
