Contractors are part of the work force, and to sustain a safe work place enviornment, we should consider the contractor as part of the work force, and remember that each and every unsafe behavior by the staff and the contractor will eventually lead to raising the threat to the safety for everybody at the work place.
the responsibility of the safety at the work place lies on the company, and it will be accountable for any unsafe behavior and related incidents, and to prevent that, the best way is to manage the contractor`s safety by proper safety induction & daily safety meeting prior to entering the work place and a constant supervisor during work time.

We don't ever need accident or incident due to work safety, human health protection,environmental safety requirements.
As soon as the contractor enters the premises he becomes the responsibility of that workplace. This means that if an accident occurs, that the workplace he entered can be held accountable.
Therefore it is important to have inductions take place for all new workers and contractors to make them aware of the safety rules of the workplace they are about to enter.
Indirectly the contractor is employed by the company, hence need to make sure he complies with the Safety rules.
Safety is the part of the Business, Overall responsibility, Accountable for all Activities, Incidents. the activities of contractors may suffer our production, there should be contrctor safety procedures in each & every company. Contract should comply with safety Procedures.
