Has anyone ever tried to get this accreditation, and if so how did you find meetings the requirements?

Have a read of the standard and see how much you do already or need to do. Do you need it, have you looked at the alternatives?

Depending on which level you're being asked for / wanting to achieve - Bronze is basically proving legal compliance, with a couple of odd bits bolted on top. Silver and Gold are a bit more involved and potentially costly. I achieved Bronze for one of our OCs without using a consultant.
Is it worth it? We had a contract award riding on it. If none of your customers are asking for it, probably not.

What are the alternatives? Earned recognition?

Interesting, not had any customers asking for it but more just an interest to see if any benefits going for it

Yep earned recognition and Mission Zero. Overall some slight differences but the core requirements have almost identical expectations. But then again, those expectations are what a haulier should be doing anyway
