INSUREPAIR ®, a leading Scottish insurance reinstatement contractor based in Edinburgh, has again been awarded accreditation by the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment scheme (CHAS).

From its base in the capital, the firm offers an all-trades property repair and renovation service, and was assessed in a number of key areas.

These included health and safety arrangements, fire emergency procedures, fire risk protocols, asbestos awareness training and management, first aid provision and the approach to accident reporting.

Contracts manager Paul Mullen said: “CHAS is the industry-leading standard of health and safety accreditation in procurement and we are delighted to have attained this accreditation.

“We have high standards across the business, from health and safety to the quality of our workmanship, and the successful assessment shows that not only are we doing things well, but properly.

“Working with a range of clients both in the insurance and private sectors, being CHAS accredited gives our customers peace of mind that we meet the necessary regulated guidelines and we have the ability, experience and resources to carry out the work assigned both safely and effectively.

“We work with most of the UK’s largest insurance companies and our services are robust, reliable and in demand so it is important to have this in place as it will assist us in our growth.

“Without our CHAS accreditation we would not be able to work with the clients we do.”

INSUREPAIR ® covers central Scotland from its base in Edinburgh, and expanded its focus on the west coast with the opening of an office in the centre of Glasgow earlier this year.
