Simple. Credible. Transparent.

In Spring 2025, Acclaim SSIP will be changing its name to Once For All Health & Safety SSIP.

We’re going through an exciting time of growth at Once For All, where we’re unifying our brands for our customers. But don’t worry, you’ll still get the same benefits as Acclaim SSIP, including access to thousands of opportunities via Marketplace!

SSIP is a membership or umbrella body for assessment schemes with the common aim of reducing both duplication and costs for both buyers and suppliers. 

Suppliers do not join or become members of SSIP. SSIP is not an assessment scheme. It is the assessment schemes who are registered members of SSIP. 

SSIP actively promotes the reduction in health and safety assessment costs and bureaucracy in the supply chain, by making cross-recognition between member schemes as effective as possible, and highlighting the savings to buyers and suppliers. All SSIP member schemes have fully committed to the vision of driving unnecessary cost and confusion out of supplier health and safety assessment, and SSIP’s core philosophy is to enable effective cross-recognition between existing schemes. 

A health and safety assessment is an assessment of a company’s health and safety policies and processes carried out by an SSIP member scheme on behalf of a client. The client may be a ‘Buyer’ such as a local authority or large contractor, or a ‘supplier’ like you. Most contractors obtain SSIP certifications because they are asked to by buyers as a condition of working for them. 

It is encouraged that you complete the questions in full, with evidence. Check out our guidance document for a comprehensive list. You will be asked to provide information regarding staffing, financials and work categories within their own sections before starting the assessment. If you submit insufficient information, you risk delaying your submission: your application will be returned with a request for further details.

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 are intended to ensure that health and safety issues are properly considered during a construction project’s development so that the risk of harm to those who have to build, use and maintain structures is reduced. 

The CDM regulations require Clients, Designers, Principal Designers, Principal Contractors, and Contractors to carry out specific duties and ensures that these duty holders co-operate and communicate with each other and co-ordinate their work. 

If your ISO 45001 was awarded by a certification body that is a member of SSIP then no, just upload a copy of your certificate to your Constructionline profile.
