CHAS is a leading accreditation scheme that demonstrates a contractor's compliance with rigorous health and safety legislation and best practices. As an SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) Approved Contractor [CDM], our certification (Membership No.: 172147) confirms that D Blackburn Contractors has been independently assessed against the SSIP Core Criteria and strict UK Health and Safety Legislation. This isn't just a tick-box exercise; it's a comprehensive evaluation of our policies, procedures, and commitment to maintaining a safe working environment for everyone involved in our projects.

Achieving CHAS accreditation is a testament to the dedication of our entire team. It involved a thorough review of our health and safety management systems, risk assessments, method statements, and training records. It reinforces our proactive approach to safety – ensuring that every single project, from a small roof repair to a large commercial groundworks scheme, is planned and executed with meticulous attention to safety regulations. This rigorous process demonstrates our professionalism and our drive to continuously improve our operational standards.

What Does Our CHAS Accreditation Mean for YOU, Our Customer?

For homeowners, property developers, commercial businesses, and local authorities working with D Blackburn Contractors, our CHAS accreditation translates directly into tangible benefits:

  1. Enhanced Peace of Mind: You can rest assured that you are engaging a contractor whose health and safety practices have been independently verified as meeting national standards. This significantly reduces the risks associated with construction work on your property.

  2. Commitment to Safety: We prioritize the well-being of our team, your family, your employees, and anyone else on or near our project sites. Our certified processes ensure that all work is carried out safely and responsibly, minimizing hazards and potential incidents.

  3. Professionalism and Reliability: CHAS compliance often reflects a broader commitment to professionalism, efficiency, and high-quality workmanship. You can expect well-organised sites, clear communication, and projects delivered to the highest standards.

  4. Reduced Risk for Commercial Clients: For businesses and property managers, choosing a CHAS-accredited contractor like D Blackburn Contractors helps you meet your own due diligence obligations and demonstrates responsible supply chain management. This can be crucial for insurance and regulatory compliance.

  5. Quality Assurance: While primarily a health and safety accreditation, the discipline and structured approach required for CHAS certification permeate all aspects of our business, contributing to the overall quality and reliability of our construction services.

Our commitment to excellence extends throughout Clitheroe, Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley, Preston, and all the communities within our 30-mile service radius across Lancashire. We understand the local landscape, the unique challenges, and the specific needs of properties in our region. Our CHAS accreditation is a public declaration of our dedication to being the most trustworthy and responsible building and landscaping contractor in the area.
