Document background
The Contractor Safety Policy is essential for organizations operating in Australia that engage contractors for various business activities. This document is developed in response to obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and related regulations, which require organizations to ensure the safety of all workers, including contractors. The policy outlines comprehensive safety requirements, risk management procedures, and compliance obligations for both the organization and its contractors. It includes specific provisions for high-risk work, emergency procedures, and incident reporting, aligned with Australian safety standards and regulatory requirements. The Contractor Safety Policy serves as a crucial risk management tool, helping organizations maintain safety standards while working with external contractors.
