Control of Contractors
Does your school work with contractors? While they might follow a slightly different set of rules, their health and safety’s just as important as that of regular staff, so you need to protect them. Before hiring a contractor, you need to verify that they have the proper training and expertise to carry out the job that needs to be done. And before you set contractors to work, you must be sure you’re taking the right measures to avoid or mitigate any risks they might be exposed to. This managing contractors training will help you keep all your contractors safe under your supervision.
Learning outcomes:
- Describe how health and safety law applies to contract work
- Identify questions to ask in thorough interviews to select suitable contractors
- Assess all the risks of a job
- Explain how to manage contractors more effectively
