Compliance Simplified. Trusted Standards. Efficient Procurement.
Safety Schemes in Procurement [SSIP] is a UK-wide mutual recognition framework for occupational health and safety standards used across the construction and built environment sectors. It simplifies pre-qualification by allowing recognised assessments across multiple schemes, reducing duplication, cost, and time. Organisations can rely on a single SSIP member scheme accreditation to demonstrate compliance with UK health and safety legislation.
ISO 45001 simplifies SSIP compliance and contractor approval
ISO 45001 and SSIP: A Strong Alignment
Organisations certified to ISO 45001 are well positioned to meet SSIP’s core requirements.
ISO 45001 provides an internationally recognised occupational health and safety management system that closely aligns with SSIP assessment criteria, helping to streamline audits and support both UK and international compliance.
Deem to Satisfy Agreement
SSIP operates on a Deem to Satisfy principle, meaning certification from one SSIP member scheme may be accepted by others without full reassessment. Most members operate mutual recognition agreements, while organisations such as Constructionline use a one-way model, accepting SSIP assessment data without issuing assessments themselves.
