Contractor Safety

Many organizations around the world use contractors on a daily basis for projects, building, construction and maintenance. The number of contractors has increased dramatically over the past few years and is placing a burden on organizations, as well as safety professionals, regarding contractor management and control. Health & Safety regulations require the client organisation to have some responsibility for contractor's activities. When an incident involving a contractor occurs on your premises, questions will be asked of you, the contractor and the contractors' employer regarding how their activities were managed.

The 3-day course is an introductory training program.
