Contractor and contract labour safety

Contractor qualification, induction, permits and oversight: the controls that cover the people most exposed to risk on your sites.

Who this is for

  • Sites that rely heavily on contract labour
  • Companies with frequent maintenance shutdowns and projects
  • EHS heads whose incident data points to contractors
  • Organisations harmonising contractor rules across sites

How this fits our independence policy

This is implementation work. If we implement a standard for you, we will not also assess you against it. An independent party does that.

Frequently asked questions

Why focus on contractors?

Contractors often do the highest-risk work, such as maintenance, construction and work at height, with the least site knowledge.

Can induction be delivered in local languages?

Yes. Materials are prepared for the languages your contract workers use.

Does this cover labour law compliance for contract workers?

It covers the safety requirements and works alongside your labour law compliance. Our EHS compliance audit covers the statutory side.

How do we measure contractor performance?

A scorecard of leading and lagging indicators reviewed at each contract renewal.
