What is the SMAS Accreditation?

SMAS (Safety Management Advisory Services) is a leading Health and Safety Accreditation scheme in the UK and is used to show main contractors and large clients that your business is safe to work in.  

The SMAS Worksafe Accreditation is nationally recognised for delivering expert risk assessments while also attracting potential clients that you previously may have struggled to obtain. 

The SMAS online assessment is a co-founding member of the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) which allows you to demonstrate to potential clients that you meet and prioritise health and safety standards. 

As a co-founder of the Safety Schemes in Procurement, many large organisations and local authorities are now insisting that you are accredited before starting a contract. 

Once you are found compliant, you will be issued a certificate, which will be valid for 12 months. If you want to remain a member of SMAS, this will need to be renewed yearly. 

You might have noticed that many companies have several Health and Safety Accreditations in place.  

This is because certain clients prefer a particular accreditation scheme, usually one that best fits their ethos and needs. You will be able to apply for other SSIP Accreditations by completing a ‘Deem to Satisfy’, which we can help you with. 

The SMAS Worksafe Accreditation can open doors for your business to win more contracts but you might not have the time or resources to complete the SMAS Worksafe application process yourself. 

In addition to SMAS, our health and safety consultants can assist you with other accreditation possibilities for your business quickly and easily. These other accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor, Constructionline and Acclaim. 

We are partners with SMAS and can offer you exclusive benefits, including discounts on our fees.
