Credentials you can verify, not badges we printed ourselves.
Anyone can call themselves a compliance expert. Fewer can show the memberships, certifications and qualifications to back it. This page lists ours, named and dated, so you can check them rather than take our word for it. If we advise you to hold a standard, it helps to know we hold the relevant ones too.
The credentials behind the advice, named so you can check them.
We run our advice through the same standards we recommend to you.
These are the credentials Spectra holds in its own right. If we guide you through a standard, we've been through it ourselves.
We're a Corporate Member of the Association for Project Safety, the professional body for construction health and safety risk management. It matters most for our CDM and Principal Designer work: it means our duty-holder advice is grounded in a recognised professional framework, not improvised.
Our integrated management system is certified to ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental) and ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety). When we guide you through an ISO journey, we've been through it ourselves.
We hold SMAS Worksafe accreditation, an SSIP member scheme, which keeps us credible when we advise contractors on which scheme wins their work.
Our consultants are qualified individually in their own disciplines.
We publish the detail on the team page once each consultant confirms it. Each discipline is led by a named specialist, not a generalist stretched across five subjects.
We'd rather state exactly what and when than reach for "award-winning".
We've been recognised in our field. But "award-winning" means nothing without the detail, so we'll name the award, the body, the year, and whether it was a win or a shortlisting before we put it on the wall.
These aren't ours. They're the accreditation schemes we get clients through.
We're scheme-agnostic, which means we advise across all of them and recommend the one that wins your contracts rather than the one easiest to resell.
Widely recognised across construction, and one of the most commonly requested SSIP schemes when a buyer asks for proof of competence.
A widely accepted SSIP-member scheme, often the one main contractors and clients name in their prequalification requirements.
Features heavily on public-sector and Tier 1 supply chains, where framework access often depends on it.
Common with main contractors, and the scheme we hold ourselves, so we know the assessment from the inside.
An SSIP-member scheme recognised across construction supply chains under the mutual-recognition principle.
Features heavily on public-sector and Tier 1 supply chains, often alongside Constructionline on larger frameworks.
The trade bodies and partners we work with.
We'd rather leave this blank than invent partnerships. We'll list confirmed names and links here once they're verified.
