Presented by Phoebe Gane, Renee Dawson, and Bianca Camuglia (Greencap)
Engaging contractors is essential to the operation of many businesses and can underpin the success of an organisation’s activities, business model, brand, and culture. However, these services come with inherit risks.
It is imperative that persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) and shared duty holders implement robust governance frameworks, management systems, pre-qualification processes, and compliance strategies that facilitate the successful procurement and engagement of contractors. This then enables an organisation to deliver services and business activities in a manner that aspires and aims to ensure work is undertaken without risk to health and safety.
This Contactor Management webinar will provide you with practical advice on how to demonstrate due diligence, limit your liability, and how to recognise when it may be desirable to take greater control over a contractor’s safety arrangements.
This moderated presentation and discussion includes case studies that showcase practicable and sustainable approaches to contractor management and how this has assisted business and shared duty holders to operate safely, efficiently and with agility in today’s regulatory and economic environment.
The case studies also cover recent learnings from sudden changes to business operations and requirements during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

myosh Contractor Management
When a contractor steps onto your worksite, they become a representative of your company. Poor workplace health and safety standards, and any missteps or incidents, become your company’s problems, as well as the contractors. Businesses often struggle to effectively manage this risk because they simply can’t command the same degree of control over their contractors as they do with their employees.
Things become even more complex when contractors use contractors themselves. How do you keep track of all these people? And ensure they are all following safe work practices?
