Contractor Safety Management
This session reviews the systems that need to be
established to manage risks associated with using
contractors. Facilities that have contractors perform
work need to ensure that an established system is
developed to mitigate risks to personnel and facilities
and reduce the chance of incidents while contractors
are working on site. The method for this risk reduction
is a Contractor Safety and Health Program that
evaluates the potential for hazards prior to beginning
of both routine and non-routine work by Contractors
on sites and by ensuring that the risks are minimized or
eliminated.
