Flow chart - contractor selection
When appointing maintenance or construction contractors, you must ensure that they’re competent. Follow our flow chart to ensure that your process is compliant.
Why is this important?
When you contract out maintenance or construction work you have considerable responsibilities for the safety of the job. This is by virtue of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
As some firms have found to their cost, appointing cowboy contractors and turning a blind eye to their dangerous practices can land you in the dock too.
Choosing a contractor with the ability and resources to work safely is therefore the most important step in the contractor management process. Our Flow Chart - Contractor Selection is an easy to follow step-by-step guide to conducting your search in a professional manner.
