Managing Contractors training, now available online
Do your contractors share your positive attitude to safety? Have you experienced contractors who disregard your safety rules in order to get the job done, only to suffer accidents for which your company is then held responsible? This course will help you to manage the risks much more effectively, and to avoid serious and potentially expensive mistakes.
A failure to manage the work of contractors can lead to serious incidents and significant loss, as well as legal action for breaches of health and safety rules. ‘Managing contractors’ training will help you by explaining best practice and how to deal with common contractor management problems so that everyone affected can be kept healthy and safe.
If you use contractors, especially if they are doing higher-risk work like work at height or maintenance tasks, then this course is for you.
Taking control of contract work and fulfilling your legal obligations can seem like a daunting task – not only are there practical issues like selecting the right contractor and communicating effectively with them, but there are several legal responsibilities that, if not met, can lead to enforcement action, which can affect your organisation’s reputation and may result in hefty fines and even prison sentences.
Your ‘Managing Contractors’ course will help you navigate potential problems and pitfalls by giving practical advice based on current guidance from the HSE.
During your course you will:
- assess your organisation’s current arrangements for managing contractors
- identify areas for improvement
- get to grips with the law on managing contractors
- consider an action plan for selecting and managing contractors
- discuss how to monitor contractors effectively.
‘Managing contractors’ is presented by a Chartered Safety Practitioner with expert practical knowledge of this complex area. You will be able to discuss your current contractor management issues with your tutor so that you gain the maximum benefit from your course.
