WSH Guidelines- Contractor Management Scope

Contractors are increasingly being engaged in a wide spectrum of activities, ranging from installation to maintenance and service. It is important to manage relationships with contractors to ensure that safety and health is accorded due attention throughout the contract duration.

Both the client and the contractor are responsible for the safety and health of their employees and the public at the workplace.

Proper contractor management process is essential to ensure that contractors do not create unnecessary risks for themselves or others. If the contractor management process is ineffective, persons at or near the workplace may be exposed to risks which may cause serious injuries or fatalities. While contracted work requires proper management to minimise risk and meet safety and health standards, all parties must collaborate to ensure that the safety and health system is effective.

This set of guidelines is developed to assist companies or clients in managing their contractors. It provides information and guidance to clients, contractors, subcontractors and key stakeholders who are involved in the contractor management process to ensure that safety and health is managed properly.

It aims to guide improvement in contractor workplace safety and health (WSH) performance, and provides a systematic approach to the contractor management process to minimise safety and health risks to employees and the public. The set of guidelines outlines the requirements for evaluating, selecting, coordinating, monitoring and communicating WSH expectations of clients and contractors.
