Dear All

When come to Contractor Safety Management following counts first:

1. Contractor Selection = Select only those contractors who is having a satisfactory safety performace in past

2. Contract Preparation = Document safety performance expectations, standards for execution of the work, capabilities of key personnel, expected behaviors.

3. Contract Award = Communicate and test for understanding of the safety expectations documented in the contract.

4. Orientation & Training = Prepare contractor team for project success including safety regulatory compliance.

5.Managing the Contractors = Ensure that they wear following the contract strictly. Conduct periodical audits to ensure compliance.

6. Post-Contract Evaluation = Assess level of success and lessons learned. Determine whether to use the contractor again.

All your expectations should be clearly written in the contract, whatever it may be... Or else the contractors later get an oppertunity of dabating on the same...

Hope this may help you.
