Course outline
Does your business employ contractors?
Regardless of the type of business you run, at some point in time you may be responsible for employing a contractor. It is your responsibility therefore, to ensure they work in a safe environment.
While a contractor is required to ensure they comply with Work Health and Safety legislation, businesses have a level of responsibility once they are on site and are considered a worker.
The WHS Act places responsibilities on both a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) and the contractor. This course explores accountabilities and identifies where dual responsibilities apply to help implement safety systems.
You will receive guidance to help develop an effective contractor management system.
