Managing Contractors
A contractor can be described as any professional who offers their skills and services to an organisation for a fee. Many businesses use contractors for a number of reasons, including fixing a problem quickly, gaining an increased access to skills, and for increased flexibility.
Course Description
However, employing contractors doesn’t come without its risks. Improper use and poor management of contractors can lead to injuries, ill health, additional costs, and delays.
During this course, users will learn about their responsibilities whenever they hire, manage, or supervise contractors, as well as the responsibilities that contractors have to keep themselves and others safe.
We also discuss how to choose the right contractors and how to plan their work, what procedures must be in place, and how to make sure that everyone plays their part in maintaining a safe working environment.
