Anyone who employs contractors – or contractors who hire subcontractors – expects to get quality work at a competitive price. In the current economic climate, the drive to remain competitive may lead to shortcuts and risk taking. While taking risks is often part of any business, the key is to make informed decisions and not blindly accept those risks. This presentation will provide attendees with tools to identify and make informed decisions on risks posed by contractors.

Chris Kuiper, MS, CSP, founder and president of Environmental Health & Safety Inc., will provide EH&S professionals with valuable tools to evaluate contractors. Purchasing and procurement staff will benefit from practical ways to more accurately assess contractors. Contractor management staff will gain valuable insight into what owners expect of their providers – and what you should expect of your company.

Any incident, whether it results in injury, equipment damage, near hit, or impact to the owner and contractor's reputation, should be viewed as a deviation to quality. Assessing contractor risks as part of a continuous improvement process adds credibility to the value chain and protects personnel and stakeholder investment. Our speaker will illustrate how companies use performance-based assessment protocols and software to better evaluate contractor risk and mentor contractors to continuously improve their safety management processes.
