Contractor Management Award
About
The Contractor Management Award acknowledges and recognises a positive contribution towards managing the modern world of work often involving a contractual chain of contractors and sub-contractors.
The way contracted work is organised between the various principal and contracting parties can significantly impact on work health and safety (WHS) outcomes for the works and for the contracted workers.
The WHS laws place a concurrent duty on all businesses and undertakings in the contractual chain to ensure the health and safety of all workers, to the extent of respective capacity to control and influence matters. Also to consult, cooperate and coordinate with each other regarding who does what for work health and safety.
Good practice contractor management approaches recognise the WHS risks, impacts and legal obligations and include processes for the selection, engagement, management and monitoring of contracted work to ensure safe and healthy work and optimum WHS outcomes for contracted workers.
