Safety Schemes In Procurement (SSIP Forum)
Purpose The SSIP Forum will: act as an umbrella organisation to facilitate mutual recognition between health and safety pre-qualification schemes wherever it is practicable to do so. actively advise and influence clients about acceptable interpretation and appropriateness of health and safety competence standards in UK schemes. embrace the core guidance on competence and training in the Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007.		Since its launch in 2009 it is gratifying to see that SSIP is already making inroads into reducing the burden of bureaucracy faced by small and medium sized businesses. Even more encouraging still is that the forum has further plans to help suppliers and those who buy services from these suppliers, maximise the benefits that SSiP can offer. Through making information about a supplier's certification available to buyers, this will further eliminate the need for suppliers to subscribe to multiple competence schemes and we start to embrace SSIP's core philosophy of mutual recognition. The documents contained within this part of the website are designed to assist you in successfully gaining accreditation to the Shopfitting Management Standard PAS 82. The NAS however being ever mindful of cost and just how many accreditation schemes members are being asked to sign up to have successfully achieved accreditation for our scheme which now sits proudly under the SSIP umbrella.
