Build the internal capability for subcontractor safety programmes rather than depending on external support indefinitely.
Building Safety Programmes for Subcontractor Workers
A concise, decision-focused programme covering subcontractor safety programmes end to end.
Course Overview
Almost every serious incident involving subcontractor safety programmes was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Where the practice within occupational health and safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Participants who influence this aspect of occupational health and safety without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting subcontractor safety programmes, ready to be adapted internally. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the wider occupational health and safety agenda so that teams can disagree productively about it. The difficulty is not agreeing that the practice within occupational health and safety matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse subcontractor safety programmes outperform teams that only plan it. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the occupational health and safety discipline, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of occupational health and safety into commitments with owners and dates.
