Employers are Responsible for Contractors
Share: 
When outsourcing work to contractors, it is important to realize that you are not outsourcing your health and safety responsibilities. Employers are responsible for contractors and need to ensure that the following precautions are in place:
- Check that contractors have relevant training, knowledge and experience to do the task safely
- Check that contractors have adequate safety management system in place to manage health and safety
- Check whether contractors intend to sub-contract any of the work and review their insurance policy
- Check contractors` references (similar work carried out on similar projects)
- Have your own contractors` management procedure in place.
