A&S Group Achieves CHAS Elite – What It Means for Our Clients
A&S Group now holds CHAS Elite accreditation, which is the highest level within the CHAS scheme. This recognition confirms that our systems, processes, and site practices meet rigorous standards for health and safety, quality, and risk management.
What is CHAS Elite?
CHAS (The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is a leading accreditation body for contractors working in construction and related sectors.
The Elite level is designed for organisations that can demonstrate robust, audited management systems across areas such as:
- Health and safety management
- Environmental responsibility
- Quality management and competence
- Corporate social responsibility
Holding CHAS Elite shows that A&S Group operates with strong governance and that clients can rely on our approach across diverse projects and sectors.
Principal Contractor Capability You Can Rely On
With CHAS Elite status, A&S Group is authorised to operate as Principal Contractor, managing construction projects safely and compliantly from start to finish.
That means we take responsibility for:
- Planning and managing works on site
- Coordinating subcontractors and specialist trades
- Maintaining safe systems of work
- Ensuring legal and regulatory requirements are met
- Protecting both workers and building users throughout the project
Clients benefit from a single, accountable partner overseeing programme, safety, and quality.
Why This Matters on Live Projects
In practical terms, CHAS Elite gives clients confidence that:
- Our policies and procedures have been independently assessed
- Our teams work within established, documented systems
- Risk is identified and managed proactively
- Compliance is built into every stage of the project lifecycle
This applies across our divisions – from Building Safety Projects and Project Services through to Maintenance, Compliance, and J A Access. The same high standards underpin everything we deliver.
A Platform for Future Growth
CHAS Elite is an important milestone for A&S Group, reinforcing the way we already work on complex, safety-critical projects. It also provides a solid platform for future growth, enabling us to support more clients as Principal Contractor while maintaining the standards they expect.
