CHAS TRAINING REQUIREMENTS Are you ready?


CHAS TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

Are you ready?



CHAS (The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) was created by health and safety professionals to improve health and safety standards across the UK. ​ In line with legislation, their aim is: 



·         To simplify health and safety contractor assessment by standardising requirements. 

·         To allow companies to avoid undergoing health and safety assessments for every job.

·         To provide assurance and reassurance.



There are more than 900 public and private sector client organisations and 70,000 contractors registered on the CHAS database. 



So what training requirements are needed to become accredited?

The size, nature and business scope of organisations going through CHAS Assessments may mean that additional and more advanced training is required to meet the necessary standards, however, CHAS will seek evidence that ALL CONTRACTORS have provided

A MINIMUM INDUCTION LEVEL OF TRAINING TO ALL EMPLOYEES in a range of core subjects. This training includes:



·        Health & Safety Awareness

·        Reporting of accidents, health issues and dangerous incidents (RIDDOR)

·        Asbestos Awareness

·        Working at Height

·        First Aid

·        Fire Safety Awareness Training

·        Noise and vibration

·        Personal protective equipment

·        Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regs (COSHH)

·        Electricity

·        Manual handling

·        Provision and Use of Work Equipment (PUWE) Regs

As a minimum – these training courses should be refreshed every 3 years and asbestos awareness refreshed annually.



THAT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF TRAINING!!! so, how can gaining accreditation be made easier and more cost effective for organisations?

It doesn’t have to be difficult, time consuming and expensive. At Compliance Training Ltd we can provide all this training in just 3 days (at the minimum requirement level).

A number of other options are available, but this is the most popular;





Day 1

·        Health & Safety Awareness Training also incorporating;

o   Reporting of accidents, health issues and dangerous incidents (RIDDOR)

o   Noise and vibration

o   Personal protective equipment

o   Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regs (COSHH)

o   Electricity

o   Provision and Use of Work Equipment (PUWE) Regs

·        Asbestos Awareness Training



Day 2

·        Working at Height Training

·        Manual Handling Training

·        Fire Safety Awareness Training



Day 3

·        First Aid at Work Training



Keeping the training reduced to 3 days, keeps the costs involved to the business much lower. Training rates are reduced due to the merging of topics (as little as £19 per person) It also means that employees are not off the job for longer than necessary, meaning less impact on capacity and workload.

Giving Back To The Local Community Through Our Training

Giving Back To The Local Community Through Our Training Recently, the training team at Compliance Training Ltd, based in Bury, Greater Manchester, have been working in Bury and giving back to the local community by delivering outstanding training courses. A first example of just some of the free training they’ve carried out is at Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester. Silvana, Director of Compliance Training Ltd, delivered a Basic Life Support First Aid training course and they received amazing feedback for this training from Carla: ‘Thank you to Silvana for supporting Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice with her training session at the back end of last year. We found the day to be really enjoyable and really liked the way that Silvana had a range of training techniques included throughout the morning opposed to PowerPoint slide after PowerPoint slide. It offered a good opportunity for us all to re

Making Your Networking Pitch Creative and Memorable

Award for the best 60 second pitch We spend a lot of time and money networking, so why not make our pitches great!!! M ost networking groups allow members and visitors just 60 seconds to tell the room about their products and services and who their ideal clients are, so we have to plan to make it effective.  Here at Compliance Training Ltd, we try to be imaginative with our pitches, to make them memorable as well as ensuring that we give members a great overview of the training courses that we can provide.  Some of my most recent pitches have included -  Role playing - I asked a couple of other members to carry out a short role play that I had created. This was to demonstrate how easy it is to go from a having a happy employee, to one that is injured at work and now prosecuting!! This was used to demonstrate the importance of Health and Safety Awareness Training in the workplace. Props - I used a CPR mannequin as a ventriloquist dummy to read my pitch about our Fir
