Course Introduction
Contractors working in industrial environments are frequently exposed to high-risk activities such as hot work, confined spaces, lifting operations, and hazardous substances. Managing these risks requires not only technical competence but also a deep understanding of safety regulations, contractor control procedures, and worksite coordination.
This 3-day practical course equips safety managers, supervisors, and contractors with essential tools to enforce industrial safety standards, conduct hazard assessments, and align with local and international regulations. Special focus is placed on contractor selection, permit-to-work systems, behavior-based safety, and managing multi-contractor environments.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand legal, regulatory, and client-specific safety obligations for contractors
• Identify and manage industrial hazards in contractor-led activities
• Implement permit-to-work systems and enforce job safety analysis (JSA)
• Coordinate safe operations between contractors and permanent staff
• Promote contractor safety culture through training, audits, and incentives
Key Benefits of Attending
• Reduce incidents and improve contractor safety performance
• Gain clarity on roles, responsibilities, and liabilities under contractor work
• Ensure compliance with OSHA, ISO 45001, and local industrial regulations
• Build and monitor safety KPIs relevant to outsourced operations
