Each year we undertake many important contractor audits for a wide range of customers who range from SMEs through to government agencies and national brands. Each audit looks at a number of critical health and safety issues, performance and indicators. We’ll look in depth at at personnel, competencies and skills and each report is highly detailed.

It’s worth remembering that the health and safety laws for a business using contractors are just as onerous as for those applying to its own employees. Under the HASW Act 1974 all companies have a duty to take all reasonably practicable steps to ensure the heath and safety of their own employees, contractors (and other people onsite) or anyone else who may be affected by their work.
