Compliance
Compliance is not an afterthought at SSG — it is the foundation on which every project is built.
Third-party verification.
Our accreditations are independently assessed and maintained annually.
SSG holds active SafeContractor membership — an independently assessed health and safety accreditation scheme used as a pre-qualification standard by many principal contractors. Membership confirms that SSG's policies, procedures and documentation meet the requirements of principal contractors working under CDM regulations.
ECS & CSCS
All SSG engineers hold a current Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) or Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card appropriate to their trade and grade. Card details are held on file and can be provided to main contractors on request. We do not deploy uncarded engineers to commercial sites.
£5,000,000 Public Liability
SSG carries £5,000,000 public liability insurance through Chaucer AIS, Policy Reference BLW007759/10/24. A copy of the certificate of insurance is available on request for main contractor pre-qualification and procurement processes.
British Standards we work to.
Every system we install is delivered to the relevant published British Standard.
Golden Thread compliance.
The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced the "Golden Thread" concept — a requirement that accurate, structured information about a building is created, maintained and passed on throughout the building lifecycle. For higher-risk buildings, this is a legal obligation.
SSG engineers produce commissioning and handover documentation structured to support the Golden Thread — including as-installed drawings, commissioning records, equipment schedules, certificate records and O&M manual contributions.
We work with main contractors and principal designers to ensure our documentation integrates with the wider project handover package and meets the record-keeping requirements of the Act.
Risk Assessments & Method Statements
A site-specific Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS) is produced for every project before SSG engineers commence work. RAMS are reviewed and approved by the main contractor's site management team before work begins.
RAMS cover: scope of work, hazard identification, control measures, PPE requirements, emergency procedures, and workforce competency confirmation. They are available for audit at any time.
Policies held and maintained.
All SSG policies are reviewed annually and available to main contractors on request.
Policy certificates and documentation are available upon request as part of our pre-qualification submission to main contractors.
