The Importance of Contractor and Supplier Safety Management
Integrating contractors and suppliers into your comprehensive health and safety strategy is essential for several reasons:
Shared Responsibility for Safety: Employers and contractors share legal responsibility for ensuring a safe work environment. By effectively managing contractor safety, you can minimise the risk of incidents and legal liabilities.
Protecting Your Reputation: Accidents involving contractors can tarnish your company's reputation and erode stakeholder trust. A robust contractor safety program demonstrates your commitment to safety and protects your brand image.
Preventing Workplace Disruptions: Accidents involving contractors can disrupt operations, causing delays, financial losses, and hindering productivity. Effective contractor safety management ensures smooth operations and minimises downtime.
