Deans Blinds And Awnings Qualify For Chas Certification

Dean Blinds and Awnings are proud to announce that they have added the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) certified endorsement to their ever growing list of professional qualifications.

The CHAS safety qualification sits well with the Investors in People award which Deans have maintained for over 16-years.

Deans Commitment to the welfare and Health and Safety of their staff, their customers and members of the public is unsurpassed in our industry.

CHAS is established as the market leader for health and safety pre-qualification in the UK. It is a non-commercial scheme available to suppliers (those who provide goods and services) and to organizations (buyers) looking for suitably competent suppliers.

CHAS isn't just for construction companies; it assesses health and safety for all types of suppliers, from care services to demolition contractors, designers and consultants. The aim of the scheme is to save time and resources by avoiding unnecessary duplication in the first stage of competence assessment; the CDM Core criteria.

It has become fashionable to deride our ever increasing demands on the need for Health and Safety and it is true conformity can become very time consuming. At times it can appear that the quality of documentation has begun to outweigh the need for practical on-site measures.

Deans have, however, taken the approach of embracing the regulations and, by complying in all respects, give their customers the confidence needed to be able to place their orders with alacrity.
