Posted By Lance Morgan Hi everyone I have been asked to devise a form/s for determining Contractors Health and Safety Performance prior to inclusion on our register of Contractors. No problem there but powers that be want me to include some sort of scoring system based on the the responses etc. Anybody have an example or can point me in the right direction. Thanks Lance

Posted By Ron Hunter I see from your e-mail address that your in the NHS. Have you considered using CHAS, this already has a questionnaire applied across the UK to known standards. There will surely be benefits to this if you can work in partnership with your own and neighbouring NHS trusts and LAs? Try to steer your managers away from numeric scoring. Contractors must be compliant with a set of recognised minimum standards - not get good marks for some categories and fail on others!

Posted By Lance Morgan Hi Ron Yes Chas was considered before I got involved. Guess why the powers that be decided not to go with it ££££ ;O)

Posted By Ron Hunter Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you then Lance, particularly when your "powers that be" are prepared to dismiss CHAS purely on up-front costs without presumably considering the savings and benefits in working within a National Scheme with other NHS Trusts and LAs!!

Posted By Lance Morgan That's the nature of the beast I'm afraid, short sighted and finance driven. They would rather set up their own data base and manage it manually.
