It is a requirement of current legislation including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and the CDM Regulations that organisations establish the competence of all contractors who carry out regular work for their company whether this is at their own offices or at any of the premises or sites they manage on their clients behalf.
Strategic Risk Management's 'Contractor Appraisal service can assist you in the vetting of contractors leaving you confident that you are using contractors who are deemed to be working safely and in compliance with current legislation.
The process varies in depth and complexity based upon the level of risk exposure to your company in the event of an incident and also the extent and degree of the hazardous nature of the activities undertaken by the contractor. As a minimum it involves a review of the nominated contractors':

  • Corporate health and safety documentation
  • Generic risk assessments and method statements
  • Validity of employers and public liability insurance documentation
  • An evaluation of the contractors health and safety culture/philosophy
  • Validating any date specific qualifications or accreditations
Our 'Contractor Appraisal' service usually involves the following stages:
  • Initially contacting contractors to outline the process and why it is being undertaken
  • Contractors are requested to sign a 'competency statement' complete a contractor appraisal questionnaire and submit any relevant documentation required to assess and support their competency and to ensure your liabilities are not being unduly exposed whilst they work for or on your behalf.
  • Undertaking 'table top' reviews to assess and rate each contractor against a set of pre-determined criteria
  • Following the appraisal of a contractor we shall verify them as being 'Competent' or recommend they are removed from your list of 'Service Providers'
  • Ongoing review over a subsequent 12 month period of the validity of contractors insurance documentation and any other associated certification which may have an expiry date with updates being requested accordingly
  • Site specific visits can be arranged to verify competency and contractor adherence to their declared safe working procedures
The appraisal and ongoing management of contractors can be effectively controlled using our SRManager system.
