Group Accreditations
Akela Group is introducing its Integrated Management System in 2019; bringing together our Occupational Health and Safety Management, Quality Management and Environmental Management systems. We will be seeking independent accreditation through a UKAS accredited auditor.
We are proud to hold the following accreditations and memberships and you can be sure that our group companies comply with the latest health and safety, quality and environmental legislation and industry best practice. This gives you comfort and peace of mind in choosing an Akela Group company against those that don't hold these accreditations.

CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme)
Assessing suppliers health and safety competence is usually a lengthy and time consuming process. Suppliers can sometimes meet one buyer’s Health and Safety standards but not another. Being CHAS approved reduces duplication and your buyer's time in selecting a contractor, as suppliers compliance is accepted by all CHAS buyers. CHAS was a founding member of Safety Schemes In Procurement (SSIP).
