The PICMS Construction Pack covers CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor and CDM 2015 — plus the underlying ISO 45001 H&S framework, hazard register, RAMS library, training matrix, contractor inductions, and RIDDOR-aware incident handling. £89/month, no separate ISO subscription needed to start.
UK construction tender qualification runs on three pre-qualification schemes — CHAS, Constructionline, and SafeContractor — plus the statutory CDM 2015 regulations that govern duty-holder responsibilities on every project. Most main contractors require at least two scheme memberships; some require all three.
The construction-compliance burden is fundamentally about three things: passing your annual SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) re-assessment by maintaining current evidence, fulfilling your CDM 2015 duty-holder role on every active project, and demonstrating ongoing competence through training records, RAMS, and incident handling. Each scheme has its own questionnaire and evidence demands; the underlying ISO 45001 H&S management system underpins them all.
Most UK construction SMEs come to PICMS with a CHAS folder on the shared drive, RAMS in a Word template that nobody updates, a training matrix in Excel that diverges from reality the first time someone leaves, and a CDM file for last project's job that took 40 hours to compile because it was reverse-engineered from email. The standard isn't asking for perfection — it's asking for a current, evidenced, defensible system.
SSIP-recognised pre-qualification across H&S, environmental, quality, equality, financial, and information security. Annual re-assessment with detailed evidence requirements. PICMS structures the evidence library against CHAS questionnaire categories.
Bronze, Silver, Gold tiers with progressively deeper assessment. Most public-sector framework agreements require Silver or Gold. PICMS evidence vault feeds the same controls into Constructionline's assessment fields.
Alphabet's H&S-led scheme used by major property and FM clients. Annual desktop audit. PICMS organises H&S documentation, training records, RIDDOR statistics, and policy versions for the assessor.
UK statutory law for every construction project. Duty-holder roles (Client, Principal Designer, Principal Contractor, Designers, Contractors), pre-construction information, construction phase plans, health and safety files. PICMS tracks duty-holder appointments and CDM evidence per project.
Increasingly demanded on top of SSIP schemes for tier-1 frameworks and major contractor pre-qualification. PICMS includes the full ISO 45001 module set if you upgrade beyond the Construction Starter tier.
Statutory reporting to HSE for specified workplace incidents. PICMS Incident Command Centre flags RIDDOR-reportable events at log-time and tracks the 10-day or 15-day notification deadline (depending on incident type).
Per-project hazard ID with 5x5 risk scoring. RAMS templates pre-loaded. Send-to-client RAMS with PDF + audit log. Site-specific risk assessments with control linkage.
Documents organised against CHAS / Constructionline / SafeContractor questionnaire categories. Annual re-assessment becomes a download exercise rather than a hunt.
Contractor inductions, sub-contractor PQQ tracking, visitor sign-in/out, vehicle access logs. CDM 2015 Principal Contractor evidence in one place.
Per-person competency tracking with expiry alerts (CSCS card, SMSTS, SSSTS, IPAF, PASMA, first aid, fire warden). Toolbox talks, refresher records, induction completion.
Voice-enabled on-site incident logging. 5-Whys investigation. RIDDOR flagging on log-time with deadline tracking. Auto-CAPA generation. Evidence chain-of-custody.
Substance inventory with COSHH assessments, safety data sheets attached, exposure controls, health surveillance triggers, scheduled reviews.
UK construction H&S legal register pre-loaded (HSWA 1974, CDM 2015, Work at Height 2005, LOLER 1998, PUWER 1998, COSHH 2002). Auto-bridges new HSE regulatory updates.
Per-project compliance hub — pre-construction info, construction phase plan, RAMS, training records, incidents, CDM file. One project, one URL, everything that matters hanging off it.
Auditor-credible vendors don't pretend software replaces site safety. PICMS does not:
What PICMS does is give you, your team, your client, and your assessor a single source of truth — so the SSIP renewal is a verification exercise, not a documentation hunt.
14 days free, full feature access, no credit card surprise. Built by an IRCA Registered Principal Auditor — auditor-credible from day one.
