Safety Checklist For Contractor/vendor
When an organization uses an outside contractor or vendor to get work done, it requires him to follow some safety procedures. A safety checklist for the contractor puts the information together. The organization shares this checklist with the contractor to sign off on, so that he knows what procedures they expect him to follow.
Communications
The safety checklist specifies how the organization will communicate all the relevant information to the contractor. For instance, the University of Regina in Canada requires that all communications to a contractor be made through a site supervisor who should be present to ensure compliance with the university's policies. At Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the college expects a contract project supervisor to communicate to all contract employees the college's safety checklist requirements.
Safety
Contractor safety checklists usually specify that contractors comply with all the applicable state and local laws, as well as the organization's policies and procedures, in order to ensure safety. The University of Regina specifies that contractors adequately train their project workers in safe work procedures before they start the assignment. The University of Regina also lays out how contractors may use ladders, and will construct scaffolds for safety purposes in accordance with legal requirements. The University provides protection from falls, as required. Both the University of Regina and Calvin College expect contract workers to have suitable equipment for personal protection at the work site. Calvin College will discuss the presence of any hazards, such as asbestos, with the contractors.
Access
When an outside contractor is at an organization's facilities, they have access to only certain areas. The contractor safety checklist usually specifies what sort of access the contractor has. Calvin College spells out what sort of access contractors have to the college restrooms and lunch facilities, and what other spaces they can enter. The University of Regina also specifies that contractors should comply with the University's lock-out procedures, as well as its procedures for confined spaces.
