Acclaim scheme now accredited by UKAS

Having exceeded all the assessment criteria, Acclaim is now accredited by UKAS, as a Type C Inspection Body.

What does Acclaim offer you?

A simple, credible and transparent scheme, Acclaim plays a key role in improving health and safety standards across the UK, while minimising duplication and cost for both buyers and suppliers.

Acclaim undertakes an impartial and independent online assessment of your company’s health and safety documentation and work activities. This serves to give confidence to your customers that your business has the right systems and processes in place, so they can rely on you to complete a job to the highest standards.

Acclaim offers one platform for managing compliance and health and safety information, making your life easier. Not only that, but it saves up to 40% on cost when compared with holding multiple health and safety schemes. This provides a substantial cost saving to businesses.

Acclaim is available to any construction business that serves either the public or private sectors. Acclaim is undertaken by health and safety scheme assessors, who are qualified to at least NEBOSH standard (the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health).

Delivering complete confidence for customers

Simon Wardle, UK Managing Director at Fortius Ltd, said: “We are thrilled that Acclaim has been recognised and accredited by UKAS, the gold standard for technical competence and quality assurance in the UK.

“Today’s contractors and suppliers want the knowledge and reassurance that the companies they choose to partner with hit the mark. With the UKAS accreditation now in place, any business that is seeking a project partner and sees they’ve passed the Acclaim assessment can be safe in the knowledge that they’re working with an organisation that meets the best health and safety standards.”
