Afternoon all I have been tasked with reviewing our existing contractor management system, so looking for some pointers and other approaches. To set the scene, we are an office based "professional services" firm, occupying eight floors of a multi-tenant building. We have a range of contractors and service providers, ranging from lift maintenance people to electrical engineers, IT cabling contractors to painters and decorators and so on. I can only summarise our current system as being a "blanket permit" system, where each contractor, regardless of the work, has to have an access permit to carry out the work. I see a number of faults with this system, largely that it fails to consider the nature of the hazards and the degree of risk associated with each individual contractor and each job they carry out. Our FMs don't like the system and don't understand the theory behind it (which I have to admit, is also lost on me hence the review!) and it's simply a paper based exercise to get the contractors in the door, then they're left to their own devices. Can anybody provide any examples of how they manage contractors in similar environments? Hope that makes sense!
