SSIP stands for Safety Schemes in Procurement – a UK-wide initiative designed to simplify health and safety compliance for businesses, especially in high-risk sectors such as construction, engineering, and manufacturing.
Instead of completing multiple assessments for different accreditation schemes, SSIP streamlines the process through mutual recognition between its members.
Launched in 2009, SSIP ensures that health and safety assessments meet core H&S criteria, acting as a benchmark for best practices and helping companies prove they are safe to work with.
