Frequently Asked Questions

SSIP do not issue certificates to suppliers – if you have been asked for an SSIP certificate you need to select from our Registered Members to determine the appropriate scheme for your business. All Assessments undertaken by Registered Members are in line with the SSIP Core Criteria ensuring the same standards are assessed.

All SSIP members complete assessments based upon the SSIP Threshold Standard (the SSIP Core Criteria) and all assessments visible on the SSIP portal are equivalent to one another. ALL assessments undertaken by ALL of our member schemes are equivalent therefore it is not required to detail the ‘originating’ member scheme on the portal.

SSIP are committed to ensuring reduction in health and safety assessment costs and bureaucracy in the supply chain, by making cross-recognition between member schemes as effective as possible. We aim to resolve any complaint we receive in a fair and impartial manner. Please see https://ssip.org.uk/complaints/ for further information.

The portal is not designed as a contractor search engine; it is designed simply to identify and verify that a company of a certain name has been successfully assessed and approved by a SSIP member scheme against SSIP Core Criteria H&S questions.

No. SSIP is a membership forum and CHAS are one of our Registered Members.

SSIP do not upload the SSIP assessment data directly – you will need to contact the scheme that carried out your assessment directly to advise. Forum members are listed on our main website: https://ssip.org.uk/ssip-forum/ssip-forum-members/

Most Member Schemes will upload to the SSIP Portal within 24 hours; however, it may take up to 72 hours for your entry to be visible. If your entry is not visible on the SSIP Portal, please contact the Member Scheme that carried out your assessment directly.
