Learning Objectives:
• Explain the main process safety considerations in the selection and deployment of contractors
• Understand the importance of contractor performance monitoring and communication about risks before and during work
• Explain how method statements and other forms of risk assessment support safe working
Key Points to cover:
• Purpose: To ensure contractors have the right process safety competencies to work safely on hazardous plant and equipment and without compromising the integrity of the plant or control systems during their work.
• Learning Points:
o Effective selection procedure
based on process safety performance and not just occupational health performance
demonstration of appropriate competencies and knowledge about major hazards before being selected
o Use of preferred contractor’s register / contractor ‘passport scheme’
o Pre-control of work via method statements / works orders and other risk assessments
o Pre-work induction and safety briefings at start of the site work
Job ‘walk through’ discussions to check understanding and compliance with method statements
Pre-work checks that individual contractor employees meet the specified competency standards
o Opportunity to stop work if dangerous situation occurs or uncertainty about risk
o Suitable supervision / periodic checks during work
o Hand back procedures and verification of integrity and function
o Post -work reviews
Contractor’s feedback on the condition of plant and equipment and gathering of intelligence about plant / equipment condition
o Appropriate sanctions for poor performance / unsafe behaviours / management of risk
o Appropriate sanctions for poor performance / unsafe behaviours / management of risk
