Contractor Management on site
Include contractors’ operations in all safety audits/inspections, paying special attention to access and egress.

- Contractor employees should be trained to recognise site dangers. Misuse of your equipment or facilities should never be allowed. Similarly, hazardous substances should be used safely
- Contractors should provide safe plant and equipment and all necessary PPE.
