Understand the Value – Why This Course Matters
Across industries and regions, companies increasingly rely on contractors and subcontractors to perform essential and high-risk tasks. As contractor hours now often exceed those of direct employees, the risk profile of operations has changed—and so has the responsibility for health and safety.
While the client company remains accountable for job site safety, contractors may operate with varying levels of safety culture and competence. The key challenge is not whether to oversee contractor HSE performance, but how to do it effectively.
This course provides the tools and strategies to develop a structured, proactive contractor HSE management system that aligns with ISO 45001 and global best practices. It empowers client organizations to manage risk, uphold safety standards, and protect their people, assets, and reputation.
This course is ideal for:
Project leaders and supervisors
Contracted operations managers
