As a building company, <\/span>you\u2019re responsible for the H&S of everyone on-site, <\/b>not just your direct employees. We know that getting contractors involved in H&S is a big challenge for building companies and is exposing you to additional risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, building companies often tell us that although they have some influence over contractors on-site, getting them to engage with health and safety is a challenge, as they don\u2019t have the same level of control over contractors compared to direct staff. Too often, contractors arrive on-site without an established H&S system and need a lot of support from the main contractor. If they do have their own system it creates a paperwork nightmare for the building company that is responsible for ensuring reports are completed and collected.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What does good contractor management look like?<\/b><\/h2>\n

First, you need to make sure contractors have the right skills and experience to do the job, and second, you need to make sure they are going to carry out the work safely. Once they are onboard, you need to monitor throughout the build if the contractor is following good health and safety practices on-site.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve created a number of new tools that will help you to manage your contractors before they begin working with you and while they are on-site. We\u2019ve also made it easier to monitor your contractor’s H&S activity, even when you\u2019re in the office. It\u2019s one system for everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
