Document background
The Subcontractor Safety Policy serves as a critical document for organizations operating in Nigeria that engage subcontractors for various industrial and commercial activities. This policy becomes essential in contexts where multiple parties are involved in complex operations, particularly in high-risk industries such as construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing. The document is designed to ensure compliance with Nigerian legislation, including the Labour Act, Factories Act, and Employee's Compensation Act, while establishing clear safety protocols and accountability measures. It outlines specific requirements for risk assessment, training, emergency response, and incident reporting, providing a framework for maintaining consistent safety standards across all subcontractor operations. The policy is particularly relevant given Nigeria's expanding industrial sector and the increasing focus on workplace safety regulations.
