What are the minimum Health and Safety Requirements/Standards for a contractor?
Contractors must ensure that health and safety (H&S) of their employees and others is of paramount importance and that H&S is considered first. All contractors must have appropriately documented systems and policies and be able to demonstrate compliance with them at all times. Their employees must be regularly trained and kept informed and the company will need to regularly monitor to ensure that the highest standards of safety are maintained at all times. Contractors must ensure that any sub-contractors they employ are able to satisfy the same minimum H&S requirements/standards (see Health and Safety Performance Standards (Microsoft Word, 393KB)). Contractor’s management systems and accident track record are also checked.
