Managing Contractors

Injured contractors and the risks to health and safety that they face are an issue for the business engaging the contractor, as well as for their immediate employers. In this short vodcast health and safety solicitor Sue Dearden, and former HSE Principal Inspector Melvin Sandell consider the extent of the duty to employees of subcontractors, what H&S documentation to ask for (and not to ask for) when engaging contractors, and the extent and limits to which you should and shouldn’t go, in controlling and managing their work.
