Contractor Safety Management

Contractor safety is becoming a significant issue for many workplaces.

For individuals, this means working in places that are controlled, not by an employer, but by a business to which they are contracted. PCBU's have to think broadly about who is working in their business - including their contractors. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act where there is overlapping health and safety duties each PCBU has a duty to consult and co-operate with the other PCBU' to ensure health and safety matters are managed.
