Managing everyone's safety on site is non-negotiable.
Building a house is a team sport. There is the building company and their employees on site, contractors and subcontractors. Sometimes there is a Project Manager or a Developer involved too. This means that at any time, there will be multiple businesses on site that are responsible for the health and safety of workers. Everyone needs to consult, coordinate, and cooperate to ensure health and safety is managed well.
As the building company or main contractor, you’re responsible for the H&S of everyone on site, not just your direct employees. We know that getting contractors involved in H&S is a big challenge for building companies and is exposing you to additional risk.
What does good contractor management look like?
First, you need to make sure contractors have the right skills and experience to do the job, and second, you need to make sure they are going to carry out the work safely. Once they are on board, you need to monitor throughout the project if the contractor is following good health and safety practices on-site.
We’ve created a number of new tools that will help you to manage your contractors before they begin working with you and while they are on site. We’ve also made it easier to monitor your contractor's H&S activity, even when you’re in the office. It’s one system for everyone. Protect everyone on site, and protect your business.
