Control of contractor safety: Supply chain management
Anyone that engages contractors has a legal duty to ensure they are competent and do not put others at risk. When contractors work in your premises, you must provide them with the information they need and ensure that their work is coordinated with that of other contractors and your own employees and customers.
Under current health and safety legislation, it is your responsibility to demonstrate you have an effective contractor management system.
