Who uses it

Any buyer specifying SSIP-equivalent health and safety competence.

Getting registered

You do not join SSIP directly - you join a member scheme such as CHAS, SafeContractor, Acclaim or SMAS.

Watch out for

Mutual recognition is the point - if a buyer demands a specific scheme you already hold an equivalent of, push back citing SSIP.
