The SSIP Forum will: Encourage and maximise mutual recognition between SSIP member schemes where it is practicable to do so. Operate a robust and consistent Deemed to Satisfy (DtS) agreement between SSIP member schemes that is clear and transparent. Provide confidence in first stage safety capability assessments by developing the SSIP core criteria and ensuring a consistent, reliable and quality-controlled standard of assessment via qualified, competent, assessors. Help and encourage buyers to recognise SSIP and its aims and objectives, and to specify and recognise SSIP member schemes in general, rather than a specific scheme provider. Help buyers and suppliers to achieve value for money through avoiding unnecessary duplication or differing Health & Safety assessment requirements, wherever possible. Demonstrate savings made to buyers and suppliers as a result of SSIP activity. Promote appropriate core criteria in non-construction works. Promote the work and value of SSIP. Actively encourage the standardisation of prequalification criteria including PAS 91, and other common industry standards.
