Training Matrix — CHAS-ready template
A training matrix template — people down the side, cards and qualifications across the top — with a colour-coded validity legend and issue / expiry tracking, because CHAS wants to see currency, not just a yes / no.
The overview CHAS asks for: who holds which cards and certificates, and — crucially — when each one expires. People run down the left; the qualification columns across the top cover CSCS, the CITB HS&E test, SSSTS / SMSTS, First Aid / EFAW, Asbestos Awareness, IPAF, PASMA, CISRS, manual handling, abrasive wheels, fire marshal, working at height and plant tickets. A colour-coded status legend (valid / expiring soon / expired / not required) makes the gaps jump out, a far-right column flags the next renewal due, and a reference table lists the typical UK validity periods. Carries the mandatory "verify with the issuing body" caveat throughout.

Does this guarantee a CHAS or SSIP pass?
No, and nothing should. CHAS is assessed by Veriforce against the SSIP core criteria, and the assessor decides. This shows you what is checked, what evidence is asked for and where firms usually fall short, so you walk in ready.

Yes, it is yours to edit. If you would rather not fill it in by hand, SiteLynx builds the same document in about ten minutes with your branding, your crew sign it on their phones, and every plan is 14 days free.
