If you are a company H&S
Manager. STOP THE JOB!
Check if they have
a. FLT maintenance cert.
b Driver license (pref.
passport).
c. Method statement for
task.
d.Is his supervisor
qualified.
d. Have you seen all their
paperwork?
e Is the job under CDM?
(There are more).
If you have a contractor
approved list, take action
to remove the offending co.
Report to your appropriate
"head honcho", and INSIST
that action is taken!!
Also ensure that the
contractors MD is made
aware.
If all this fails, suggest
you find alternative co.
where efforts are
appreciated.
I had a fairly similar case
inc contractors some time
ago, and took the step of
stopping the job until the
offenders were removed from
site. (with emails to MD
level.)
It worked, but I was
unpopular for a while.
Don`t stand for cowboys.
They can kill!!
