Control of Contractors 

Increasingly, companies are contracting out not only specialised work, but often some core activities, to independent contracting companies in various sectors. In order to comply with legislation and demonstrate due diligence, companies need to ensure that contractors are suitably selected and controlled.

 

In its widest sense the term ''Contractor'' does not merely refer to building contractors.
It includes any individual or company who comes onto your premises /site to fulfil a contractual obligation

 

Likely ''Contractors'' could include:

• Telephone engineers
• Computer technicians 
• Window cleaners 
• Contract cleaners/caterers 
• Electrical/mechanical maintenance engineers
  

When selecting contractors, health and safety aspects must be taken into account as well as the competence of the contractor to complete the work.
