Alcumus Safe Contractor
Take the hassle out of compliance so that you can hire reliable contractors in no time. SafeContractor lowers the health and safety risks to your business, from fines to operational disruption.
Keeping everyone you work with safe is your biggest priority as an employer. But here’s why health and safety can be a bigger issue when it comes to independent contractors.
Unfamiliar environments: Contractors often work in multiple locations, which leaves them unfamiliar with site-specific safety protocols.
Limited supervision: Unless you manage your contractors in the same way as your direct employees, it’s likely they don’t understand or follow your safety requirements as thoroughly.
Varying standards: Contractors might follow different safety standards to you, leading to inconsistencies and increased risks.
High-risk work: Contractors often carry out high-risk work that requires special safety measures.
You have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure the health and safety of everyone who works on your premises, including both employees and contractors. You’re required to:
Ensuring your contractors stay compliant is a huge task, and it’s costly to manage in-house. Let our expert auditors take care of the paperwork at a fraction of the cost so that you can focus on other critical activities.
We vet each contractor by assessing them against industry-specific health and safety regulations. This way, it’s easy to approve only those who meet your standards.
Our online platform lets you monitor contractor compliance in real-time, with verified data and analytical tools that make reporting a breeze.
But we don’t just assess your contractors. The platform also identifies potential compliance risks and offers tools to mitigate them. What’s more, we check in with your contractors regularly to ensure they stay up to date with changing regulations.
On top of this, SafeContractor makes it easier to communicate with your contractors about health and safety, meaning they develop a better understanding of your requirements.
At SafeContractor, we assess many different factors that affect compliance, from certification and training to the way contractors approach their work.
The main regulations that impact working with contractors include:
Alcumus is a founding member of the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) scheme, which streamlines health and safety assessment for contractors. It recognises prequalification questionnaires and audits across multiple schemes, reducing the administrative burden on contractors.
SSIP makes construction and other industries safer by ensuring contractors meet consistent health and safety standards. More than 50,000 contractors and suppliers use it to stay compliant, and you’ll gain access to this network when you work with us.
