SMAS Worksafe renewal help

SMAS Worksafe Renewal Support for UK Contractors

SMAS states that Worksafe certification is valid for 12 months and then requires renewal. We help you review changed business information, expiring documents and current evidence before submitting the annual assessment.

Core routeWorksafe for SSIP
CAS routeSMAS currently calls it Worksafe Pro

Confirm the SMAS product first

SMAS currently presents Worksafe for SSIP, Worksafe Plus for broader pre-qualification assessment and Worksafe Pro as its Common Assessment Standard route. Send the renewal notice and buyer requirement so the evidence review matches the correct product.

Update evidence changed during the year

Renewal should account for new work activities, workforce changes, responsible people, insurance, competence, incidents and changes to operational controls. Documents and records should show what the business currently does.

Prepare for assessor feedback

We can help organise the renewal and respond to specific evidence queries. SMAS remains the assessment body and controls the decision and assessment timetable.

Important distinction

Preparation support is separate from assessment

Barlow & Co does not issue memberships, certificates or approvals. The relevant scheme, assessment body or certification body controls its decision, fees and timetable.

No invented evidenceDocuments must reflect controls your business actually operates.
No guaranteed outcomeWe improve preparation but do not promise third-party approval.
Clear commercial scopeDeliverables and consultancy fees are agreed before paid work.
