Contractor Management
For businesses who engage contractors, it is often difficult to determine who is responsible for what with regards to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). SMARTin Safety can assist you to break down your legal responsibilities with regards to contractors, and how to identify who should do what.
Who is a contractor?
A contractor provides goods or services for a set price or rate. The contractor may be self-employed, have employees of their own or have business partners. Contractors and their employees engaged by a Principal Contractor, have duties under the OHS Act.
“Provision of appropriate site-based control measures depends on who has control of the work area and processes and must be agreed before work commences.”
Contractor Inductions
- If you are considered the Principal Contractor of a worksite or workplace, providing all contractors with a safety induction enables you to confirm the site safety rules and establish the minimum safety requirements. It also enables you to communicate key hazards onsite, and the controls you have in place to manage these risks.
- SMARTin Safety can assist you to develop paper-based or digital OHS Contractor induction packages. We visit your workplace, and spend time with you to understand your business and identify key content requirements.
- We will then develop the required content for your induction package, with reference to relevant legislation, compliance codes and industry standards.
- We use either paper-based or technology platforms to create your contractor induction package. We will follow-up with you during the implementation phase the ensure things are running smoothly and answer any questions you may have.
