Managing Contractors
Sponsored links
Course Objectives:
It is a common misconception that when contractors work at your site, you have no management control over their activities. This is not the case. Health & safety law requires the client organisation to have some responsibility for contractor's activities. Should an accident ever occur at your premises involving a contractor, then questions will be asked of you, the contractor and the contractors' employer regarding how their activities were managed. This comprehensive one-day programme includes: -
How to provide a safe place of work for the contractor
How to ensure that your own employees are not put at risk from the actions of a contractor working on site
Ensure that your employees do not act in a manner which may endanger the safety of contractors
Providing the contractor with information on the hazards and risks in the area where the contractors conduct their work
Monitoring contractor's activities whilst on your site
Signing in procedures and basic induction including familiarisation with site rules
