SAFEcontractor |
|
Safecontractor is a contractor accreditation scheme that assesses
the health & safety competency of contractors.
Clients have a legal obligation to ensure that contractors operate
in a safe way. There is therefore a need to assess contractors
health & safety arrangements, and increasingly this is being
carried out through Safecontractor.
Many large organisations now use Safecontractor as their primary
means of selecting contractors. Safecontractor is effectively
the clients approved contractor list.
