SSiP Assistance

SSiP Assistance

Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSiP) is a group of umbrella accreditation’s ensuring that companies are all compliant with Health & Safety.

SSiP members who provide these schemes accredit suppliers through conducting assessments. These require the supplier to complete forms which are sent remotely to an external auditor who then assesses current health & safety practices and procedures against SSiP core criteria endorsed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
