Registered Members

SSIP Registered Membership is open to any third-party Health & Safety assessment schemes, including Health & Safety assessment schemes such as those run by major contractors or Trade Associations. Registered Member schemes benefit from a two-way mutual recognition with other registered member schemes, as long as the other registered member approval was carried out in accordance with SSIP Rules and Bylaws.

Certification Body

SSIP Certification Body Membership is open to any UKAS Accredited Certification Body for OHSAS 18001 or ISO 45001 (when adopted) and fully accredited to EA28 as a minimum. Certification Body member schemes benefit from a one-way mutual recognition with registered member schemes, as long as the Certification body member approval was carried out in accordance with SSIP Rules and Bylaws and incorporates the SSIP Health & Safety Core Criteria questions.

A stand-alone OHSAS 18001 certificate does not meet SSIP requirements and falls outside of the SSIP Scheme.  An organisation wishing to hold OHSAS 18001 + SSIP must request this with their Certification Body provider so that the additional SSIP Scheme requirements are implemented during the assessment process including data integration with the SSIP Portal for Deem to Satisfy purposes.
