SSIP Acclaim Accreditation for Health and Safety, 15th Nov 2024
Health and Safety Acclaim
We have now been accredited by Acclaim for health and safety through Safety Systems in Procurement (SSIP), the scheme supported by the HSE and universally accepted in public and private sector procurement.
Acclaim works to support the objectives of the SSIP: to improve health and safety standards across the UK and to reduce duplication of paperwork in procurement.
Ian Mathieson, Business Director at James Ramsay, said: “SSIP was developed to act as an umbrella body, which is recognised by a large and growing number of buyers, to provide confidence to buyers that suppliers have been successfully assessed to the SSIP core criteria.
“From a supplier perspective, it helps us to reduce duplication through the accreditation process and further demonstrates our credentials and education in health and safety compliance.”
Launched in 2012, Acclaim is the health and safety certification service provided by Supplier Assessment Services. It carries out an online assessment of a company’s health and safety documentation and work activities as an independent competent assurance of the systems in place.
