ACCLAIM ACCREDITATION

Quality Management

Main Benefits of Acclaim Accreditation.

Acclaim is the health and safety accreditation scheme operated by Constructionline, designed for construction businesses, cleaning contractors, FM companies, and other suppliers who want to go beyond standard pre qualification and demonstrate a fully assessed and independently verified level of health and safety competence. For businesses already registered with Constructionline, Acclaim adds significant credibility and opens doors to buyers who require a deeper standard of health and safety assurance.

Recognised by Major Buyers

Acclaim is accepted by thousands of buyers across the public and private sector and carries the credibility of the Constructionline brand behind it.

Mutual Recognition

Acclaim is a Safety Schemes in Procurement forum member scheme and is mutually recognised by other leading health and safety accreditation schemes across the UK.

Strengthens Your Constructionline Profile

Holding Acclaim accreditation alongside your Constructionline registration significantly strengthens your profile and your position when buyers are comparing suppliers on the database.

Goes Beyond Standard Pre Qualification

Acclaim demonstrates a higher and more thoroughly assessed level of health and safety competence than standard Constructionline registration, giving buyers greater confidence in your business.

Why Acclaim Accreditation is Important for UK Businesses Today.

BUYERS WANT MORE THAN BASIC PRE QUALIFICATION

An increasing number of buyers using Constructionline are looking for suppliers who hold Acclaim accreditation as evidence of a more robust and thoroughly assessed health and safety capability.

IT DEMONSTRATES GENUINE HEALTH AND SAFETY COMPETENCE

Acclaim is not a paper exercise. The assessment process evaluates your actual health and safety management arrangements and the competence of your business to manage health and safety risks effectively.
