Spider Platform Hire has officially achieved CHAS Standard accreditation, reinforcing its commitment to the highest standards of health, safety, and compliance. This new accreditation, alongside its existing membership with the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), further establishes the company as a trusted provider of safe and professional platform hire solutions.
Meeting Industry Safety Standards
CHAS (The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is a recognised industry accreditation that ensures businesses comply with stringent health and safety regulations. Achieving CHAS Standard accreditation demonstrates that Spider Platform Hire has undergone a rigorous assessment process, confirming that its policies, procedures, and operations align with the highest industry standards.
For clients, this accreditation provides additional confidence that Spider Platform Hire prioritises workplace safety and risk management across all aspects of its service.
“Health and safety are at the core of everything we do,” said Dom, Founder at Spider Platform Hire. “Achieving CHAS accreditation reinforces our commitment to delivering not only high-quality equipment but also the safest possible service for our customers.”
Why CHAS Accreditation Matters
Health and safety regulations are a crucial consideration for businesses that work at height. Whether in construction, tree surgery, building maintenance, or industrial sectors, ensuring compliance with national safety standards is essential. The CHAS accreditation offers several key benefits to clients:
• Assurance of Compliance: Businesses working on public sector and commercial projects often require contractors and suppliers to hold CHAS accreditation. Hiring from a CHAS-certified company ensures seamless compliance with site requirements.
• Demonstrated Commitment to Safety: Spider Platform Hire adheres to industry-leading safety practices, reducing risks and ensuring a safe working environment.
• Streamlined Procurement: Many organisations prefer to work with accredited suppliers to simplify procurement processes and meet pre-qualification criteria.
By choosing a CHAS-accredited provider, clients can be confident they are working with a company that meets national safety standards and is committed to continuous improvement.
CHAS and IPAF: A Comprehensive Approach to Safety
Alongside CHAS accreditation, Spider Platform Hire is also a member of the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF). IPAF membership ensures that all operators are fully trained in the safe and effective use of powered access equipment, reducing the risk of accidents on-site.
The combination of CHAS and IPAF memberships highlights Spider Platform Hire’s dual commitment to both equipment safety and expert operation. This means that clients not only receive high-quality, well-maintained equipment but also benefit from industry-approved training and best practices when using platform hire solutions.
A Trusted Partner for Safe and Efficient Access Solutions
With CHAS Standard accreditation now in place, Spider Platform Hire continues to build on its reputation as a trusted partner for working at height. The company provides a range of platform hire solutions, including operated hire services where trained professionals handle the machinery to ensure a smooth and efficient job.
“Our goal is to provide the safest and most reliable platform hire solutions available,” Dom added. “With both CHAS and IPAF certifications, our clients can be confident that they are hiring from a company that takes safety, compliance, and professionalism seriously.”
Whether working on construction projects, facilities maintenance, tree surgery, or specialist high-access tasks, businesses can now rely on Spider Platform Hire as a fully accredited, industry-compliant provider.
