Very few businesses can afford to employ people with all of the skills and disciplines necessary to run their organisations and therefore the need to bring in contractors has risen dramatically over recent years.
It has been said that a contractor is “someone you invite onto your premises to cause chaos”, but with adequate controls in place, this need not be the case. This one day course looks at the principles of contractor control for safety whilst they are working for you.
