Yeah a new start, no experience with RAMS or anything!
Really could do with some advice

Speak to the chas accessor & he will tell you what you need the accreditation fee only covers that & tbh is a realitivly easy task but it wont cover other things you may require to meet the critea such as a first aider or someone with a supervisors qualification & in some instances asbetos awareness as well as an up to date risk assesment , method statement & falling at height recovery plan- you can employ a h&s company to do the work & submit it all but that comes at a cost - we had most of the stuff in place so it was an easy transition & we have now moved onto the Safe Contractors scheme which is also part of the group of ssip which are recognised within our industry

Pretty much as above fellah. ^ We found being a member of constructionline also helped keep some of the Chas paperwork down. Got both Chas and Constructionline yet as above had to get Safe Contractor in order to scaffold on Alton Towers as they only recognise that scheme accreditation!
