Our new eBook offers a comprehensive guide to closing the contractor safety gap, highlighting common challenges and how to solve them with a practical 3-step approach.
To reduce contractor safety risk, companies must adopt a structured and proactive approach by integrating all employees into their existing health and safety frameworks. Sphera’s three-stage framework offers a clear path to achieving this through visibility, accountability, and inclusion:
Centralize contractor qualifications, safety records, training and experience in a single system. This transparency streamlines approvals, ensures compliance and maintains accurate cost records.
Integrate contractors to corporate safety program. Equip them with the same access to training, reporting tools and safety protocols as company employees. Involve them in corrective actions and ensure all incidents, near-misses and observations are reported and addressed.
Regularly audit contractor safety performance by tracking training, incidents, completed actions and learnings. Use data-driven insights of incident data to identify risks early, refine safety measures and improve overall safety outcomes. Assess and rate contractors based on their safety and business performance to inform future engagements.
By aligning contractor standards with those of employees, companies can foster a cohesive safety culture. This approach mitigates risk, reduces workplace incidents and improves safety performance while strengthening overall operational resilience.
