I reckon so....but perhaps that's no surprise.

 

In reality, as with all accreditations schemes inc. ArbAC (or perhaps not as industry specific and beneficial for a business to check it's compliance/competnece with external audit), I guess its largely driven by client demands.

 

Many large organisation/Government Depts. require CL as a prerequiste to the tendering process, i.e. no have it = no quoting!, and it covers broad range H&S, financials, insurance, Directors etc.

 

As a matter of interest, currently unlike CHAS, CL do not vet/check you H&S docs. they simply 'hang' them on their database for others to see....and check, i.e. satisfy themselves. However IF you are CHAS Accredited then you need only submit your current, valid, certificate.

 

Hope this of interest.

Cheers, n good luck.

Hmmm, that's not as I understand it.

 

CL are one of the founder members of the 'SSIP' (Safety Schemes in Procurement) organsiation, an initiative started by HSE and CHAS and hence should be deemed to satisfy.

 

I'll make some enquiries.

 

Cheers..
