Contractor Safety Services

This will involve selecting a contractor with the correct abilities and competencies, assessing the risks, deciding what information, instruction and training is required, how co-operation and co-ordination between all parties is achieved, how the workforce is to be consulted and the level of management and supervision required.

Ark Workplace Risk’s contractor safety consultancy services help clients to work safely and smartly with both contractors and sub-contractors with a full understanding of their own and their contractor’s health and safety duties. We can create solutions that make the process easier and as with all of our workplace risk management services, you can choose to outsource your entire contractor safety function to us or select key elements singularly or bundled together.

Ensuring the right contractor is chosen in the right way, Ark’s contractor safety approval process helps you to manage the way in which contractors are chosen and mitigate your health and safety risk when dealing with contractors and sub-contractors. We will take the time to understand your processes and requirements and be guided by this knowledge and HSE guidelines to undertake any approval.

We’ll help you to clearly identify all aspects of the work you want the contractor to undertake, including work falling within the preparation and completion phases. We’ll also assess the competency of the contractor and subcontractor on the basis of their safety record and practices and provide infrastructure, information and training when undertaking approval.

Contractor safety management and implementation processes must consider your need to satisfy yourself that contractors are competent with sufficient skills and knowledge to do the job safely without risks to health and safety and that the work itself is carried out in accordance with your requirements and policies.

Ark will make sure that contractors know and understand the level of performance expected. We will explain your health and safety requirements  to them, show them your procedures, permit systems, health and safety policy statement and make sure they understand and will act in accordance with it.  Where a contractor wishes to use a subcontractor, we`ll assess the work activity to be undertaken and ensure that, as with any contractor, appropriate competence can be shown to undertake such work activity safely.

Ark will also ensure that all parties consider what information, instruction and training should be passed between them and agree appropriate ways to make sure this is done. We will also make certain that clear information about the risks arising from the operations, including any relevant safety rules and procedures, and procedures for dealing with emergencies are communicated.
