A one-day, in-company course on controlling contractors on site and running a sound permit to work system, for the managers and duty holders who issue or accept permits.
Managing contractors training covers two linked duties: keeping contractors safe and under control on your site, and running a sound permit to work system for high-risk work. KeyOstas delivers it as a one-day in-company course for managers and the duty holders who issue or accept permits.
It is for the people who bring contractors onto site and control their work.
By the end of the day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Outline the main requirements for controlling contractors, and the client and contractor duties in civil and criminal law.
Explain how company policy and the regulations of relevance shape the control of contract work.
Draw the practical lessons from relevant case law on contractor management.
Select, brief and monitor contractors so the work is done safely.
Identify the circumstances that require a permit to work within their company.
Explain the permit to work system, the types of permit and the duty-holder roles.
Explain the role of risk assessments and method statements in preparing permit operations.
Identify the actions and conditions that lead to permit to work failure.
One day, in two linked parts: controlling contractors, and the permit to work system.
