Contractor Safety Policy Writers
What are Contractor Safety Policies?
Contractor safety policies outline how organisations manage the health and safety of contractors working on their premises or on behalf of the business.
Contractors may not be familiar with site-specific hazards, procedures or rules. A clear policy ensures that they receive appropriate induction, supervision and support so that risks are controlled and legal duties are met.
What Do Contractor Safety Policies Cover?
A contractor safety policy typically includes:
-
Procedures for vetting and selecting contractors, including competence checks
-
Requirements for contractor induction and site-specific health and safety briefings
-
Responsibilities of managers and supervisors in monitoring contractor activities
-
Rules for safe working practices, including permits to work and access control
-
Procedures for sharing risk assessments and method statements (RAMS)
-
Requirements for contractors to provide and use appropriate PPE
-
Incident reporting procedures for accidents, near misses or unsafe practices involving contractors
-
Monitoring and auditing of contractor compliance with health and safety standards
-

A clear policy helps ensure contractors understand their responsibilities and that the organisation manages risks associated with third-party work.
It also ensures compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM), where applicable.
By embedding strong contractor safety procedures, organisations can reduce risks, protect all workers on site and demonstrate their commitment to safe working environments.
