Accreditation: Underpinning health and safety in the workplace

Businesses are facing increasing commercial and regulatory pressures to assess and control hazards and risks from their operations. UKAS accreditation ensures that employees, purchasers and regulators can have confidence in the provision of services that have an impact on health and safety in the workplace.

When contracting the services of external contractors to carry out activities that impact on health and safety, UKAS accreditation of testing, inspection and certification activities ensures that businesses are making an informed choice about those suppliers.
