Buyers often instruct their supply chain to register with an SSIP member scheme. This gives the supplier the freedom of choice to choose any SSIP member scheme who can provide them with the best value for their company needs. Suppliers are encouraged to visit Member Schemes websites for further information and select based on assessment fees and whether the scheme covers their particular duty holder role i.e. Contractor or Designer.

SSIP recognise that our members include a range of supplementary services to suit the requirements of different buyers therefore please review to determine the appropriate scheme for your business.

There are four different types of SSIP Forum membership: SSIP Registered Member, SSIP Certification Body Member, SSIP Affiliate Member and SSIP Supporter Member. Health and Safety Assessments are undertaken by both Registered Members and Certification Body Members.

ALL assessments completed by our Registered Members or Certification Body Members are equivalent and in accordance with the SSIP Core Criteria ensuring the same threshold standard has been achieved by all suppliers.
SSIP DO NOT carry out assessments - our forum members do, if you have been advised you need to hold 'SSIP' please select from the Members above and apply directly....
