Highwood appoints Smas Worksafe to manage Health & Safety pre-qualification and supply chain compliance
Highwood has announced a new partnership with Smas (Safety Management Advisory Services) Worksafe, one of the UK’s leading providers of Health and Safety assessments and full-form SSiP.
SMAS Worksafe accreditation is nationally recognised and demonstrates Highwood’s commitment to safe working as well as giving main contractors confidence in our competence by meeting core SSiP criteria. The accreditation gives us full access to a highly qualified team of Health and Safety professionals and a dedicated portal to monitor compliance scores and other key assessment data.
“We’re very happy to announce our partnership with the UK’s SSiP scheme of choice,” said Terry Oliver, Health and Safety Manager at Highwood. “Acknowledging that we’re fortunate to already have a professional and resourceful supply chain, it continues to be an objective that all prospective contractors share this same ideal.”

The aims and ambitions of Highwood neatly align with our own and we look forward to working together in the coming months and years.”
The move means that, from June 2023, all contractors working on or applying for tenders with Highwood will be required to hold an SSiP certificate issued by SMAS Worksafe.
