In 2010 Sue Bottrell as a junior lawyer watched a client acting as a Principal Contractor be found guilty for failing to manage the safety of expert contractors. At the time she felt this was unjust and quite simply did not make sense. As a result of her 10 years specialising in the area Sue through her company ContractorSAFE has developed an effective but simple process to ensure management of liability and improvements in safety, The Four Pillars of Modern Contractor Management. The Four Pillars clearly and simply sets out a process to support Principal Contractors to; 1. manage legal liability and quickly prequalify contractors, 2. ensure the focus of onboarding and induction is on matters relevant to the Principals operations 3. meaningfully monitor contractor safety and 4. confirm contractor performance to inform ongoing hire. By participating in this session, you will not only better understand your obligations as a Principal Contractor generally but learn to avoid over complicating your processes and target your efforts where they are needed most to support compliance and best practice management of contractor related safety.
