FEATURE
CHAMPIONING SAFETY & EFFICIENCY
For several years, KM Group has been a proud partner of Veriforce CHAS, which has helped us to showcase our commitment to being a responsible and reliable contractor and enabled us to work with major contractors in our sector. Being accredited to CHAS Elite – which includes the Common Assessment Standard – shows we adhere to high standards across a wide range of risk areas, from health and safety to environmental management to equality, diversity, and inclusion. It also gives us a tool to set standards for our supply chain, so the contractors we work with are typically accredited to CHAS Standard or CHAS Advanced. Like Veriforce CHAS, at KM Group we are strong advocates of the Common Assessment Standard and its potential to improve efficiency and risk management standards in the construction sector. Veriforce CHAS was the first accreditation body to offer the assessment, and we were one of the first companies to complete it.
Murray Ambler-Shattock, Group Strategic Operations Manager at KM Group, explains how working with Veriforce CHAS has helped KM Group enhance its industry presence. He also discusses their shared objective to enhance safety and efficiency in the civil engineering sector, including through investment in the very latest technology.
THE GOLDEN TICKET Achieving accreditation is not a daunting task but a demonstration of our efficient business systems. In our experience, many organisations unknowingly already possess these systems in some form, and accreditation merely involves certifying their functionality.
Veriforce CHAS has been instrumental in conveying this message to our supply chain and supporting our contractors on their accreditation journey. This support is particularly beneficial for our smaller contractors, as CHAS Standard provides an entry-level accreditation that forms a solid foundation for future growth.
We view accreditation as the golden ticket, enabling business expansion and fostering collaboration with reputable employers. It establishes credibility and opens doors to valuable opportunities.
