What is it?

SafeContractor (an SSIP member) is a recognised health and safety accreditation that helps clients pre-qualify contractors quickly. Our SafeContractor Accreditation Assistance service manages the process end to end — completing the online application, preparing supporting evidence, and guiding you from start to finish — so you can achieve accreditation with minimum disruption.

Built for sole traders, small builders and principal contractors who want a smooth submission and a credible result.

Note: SafeContractor includes a core assessment and, where required by a client, “Part 2” additional sections. Accreditation renews annually.
