The Vent Hygiene Register and TR19® Grease are recognised by London Fire Brigade, British Standards and many insurers including the RISCAuthority. More tenders with large contractors, government and local authorities now specify they want VHR members to complete the work.
Why? Because they know they can evidence technical excellence, demonstrate competency and compliance, and are the best of the best in the vent hygiene industry.
BESA members must undertake a Competence Assessment Standard (CAS) Audit demonstrating they have suitable governance, financial stability, insurance, quality controls, training arrangements and safe working systems in place. The CAS also requires a technical audit to be carried out with dedicated audit schedules for a range of Work Types.
Companies who carry out works to TR19 Grease must also be a member of the VHR Scheme in order to be eligible for BESA membership.
The BESCA CPS allows qualified businesses to self-certify compliance with building regulations in England and Wales. This removes the need to notify Building Control or pay local authority inspection fees.
By recognising skilled and competent professionals, the scheme provides an alternative to building notices or approved inspectors.
