CHAS LAUNCHES VERIFICATION SERVICE FOR MATERIALS
SUPPLIERS New from CHAS, expert in supply chain compliance, is Verified Supplier, a compliance verification service which enables material suppliers to showcase their commitment to operating credibly, safely and ethically.
As supply chains come under increasing scrutiny, material suppliers must confirm they are compliant with a growing list of legislation and guidelines covering health and safety, quality assurance, environmental protection and ethical practices, among others.
Easily demonstrate compliance
Becoming a CHAS Verified Supplier is a convenient way to demonstrate compliance across a range of risk management areas via a single verification, reducing duplication of prequalification questionnaires (PQQs) and making it faster and
PROTECTING WORKERS FROM
DUST EXPOSURE Access to real-time sampling and monitoring data from workplace dust exposure is a game changer for workers, employers and occupational hygienists alike. Practical dust sampling and monitoring from DustCanary’s new light-weight wearable devices help to mitigate the risks posed by dust across a range of work environments.
The devices are compact with no sampling tubes or waist-worn pumps, avoiding catch hazards. Real-time visual and audible alarms, derived from an innovative optical particle counter, warn when a worker is being exposed to increased respirable dust including respirable crystalline silica (RCS). Instantaneous information on changing levels of exposure, particularly useful for varied work patterns and change in surroundings, initiates action for workers to minimise their own dust exposure.

easier to pre-qualify for contracts across the UK.
As well as demonstrating a supplier’s commitment to quality practices and processes, achieving CHAS Verified Supplier helps suppliers highlight compliance with the following laws and regulations:
• UK GDPR
• Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
• Modern Slavery Act 2015 • Environment Act 2021 • Equality Act 2010
Verified Suppliers also get access to CHAS’s growing bank of exclusive benefits, including discounted training courses, free legal advice and exclusive savings with TradePoint, Speedy Hire, Checkatrade and more.
Streamline supply chain risk management
Specifying CHAS Verified Supplier gives clients confidence that their suppliers operate to a consistently high standard. This helps protect clients from the disruption and reputational harm that can arise
Utilising advanced patented air sampling technology developed by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and the University of Hertfordshire, DustCanary’s CPAM also allows inhalable dust to be monitored over an eight- hour shift in line with Health and Safety Executive requirements.
Weighing less than 150 grams and small enough to be worn on a lapel in the breathing zone of the worker, DustCanary wearables are convenient to wear on a daily basis and therefore can provide continuous protection. Live data can be used to trend exposure over time and to understand hotspots including changes to exposure levels due to local exhaust
from non- compliant supply chains. Clients can find verified materials suppliers quickly and easily alongside verified subcontractors via the free CHAS Client Portal, helping to streamline their supply chain risk management processes.
Commenting on the launch of Verified Supplier, CHAS Managing Director Ian McKinnon said: “We are delighted to launch the CHAS Verified Supplier service and make it easier for responsible materials suppliers to highlight their credentials to potential customers.
“The launch of CHAS Verified Supplier underlines CHAS’s commitment to simplifying prequalification while raising risk management standards and ensuring that responsible businesses thrive.”
