Contractor Management
A contractor is a person, or an organisation, that provides a service for a fee but is not a direct employee of the DEECD. Most schools are likely to engage specialist contractors from time to time to perform certain kinds of work such as maintenance, repair, cleaning and gardening.
It is important to understand that employers have the same duty of care towards contractors as they do for their employees. To ensure the contractors you engage work safely when on site and do not introduce any unmanaged risks when undertaking the work, plans must be put in place to manage contractor activities. This includes conducting pre-commencement Contractor Induction, advising contractors of specific site hazards, sighting Safe Work Procedures and acting on identified non-compliance of contractors to DEECD procedures.
This section provides procedures and forms to assist with managing the risk of activities undertaken by contractors at DEECD workplaces.
