Product Overview
The Contractor Management Procedure is a professionally drafted, fully editable WHS procedure designed specifically for Australian workplaces. It provides a clear, step-by-step framework for planning, engaging, inducting and supervising contractors so that all contracted work is carried out safely and in line with work health and safety legislation.
This document helps you demonstrate due diligence, manage shared duties with other PCBUs, and ensure that contractors understand and comply with your organisation’s WHS expectations. It supports a risk-based approach, from low-risk service providers through to high-risk construction and maintenance contractors.
Key Features
- Comprehensive coverage of the full contractor lifecycle: pre-engagement, selection, induction, supervision and performance review.
- Clear definition of roles and responsibilities for officers, managers, supervisors, WHS personnel and contractors.
- Risk-based contractor categorisation to align controls with the level of WHS risk.
- Detailed guidance on WHS pre-qualification, including required safety documentation, licences and insurances.
- Practical instructions for managing SWMS, JSAs, risk assessments and permits to work.
- Sections on consultation, cooperation and coordination with other PCBUs.
- Templates and tables for registers, inductions, inspections and performance reviews.
Benefits
- Strengthen WHS compliance by aligning contractor management with Australian work health and safety laws and codes of practice.
- Reduce risk of incidents, injuries and regulatory action by ensuring contractors are competent and properly supervised.
- Save time with a ready-to-use, logically structured procedure that can be quickly adapted to your operations.
- Improve consistency across sites and projects with standardised processes for contractor selection, induction and monitoring.
- Demonstrate due diligence to regulators, clients and insurers through documented contractor management and safety documentation.
Who is this for?
- Safety and WHS managers responsible for contractor oversight.
- Operations and project managers engaging contractors for construction, maintenance or specialist services.
- HR and procurement teams seeking to embed WHS requirements into contracts and purchasing processes.
- Small to large businesses wanting a robust, compliant contractor management framework without starting from scratch.
Legislation & References
This Contractor Management Procedure is written to support compliance with the model Work Health and Safety Act and Regulations as adopted in most Australian jurisdictions. It reflects key concepts such as PCBUs, officers’ due diligence, consultation duties and management of high-risk construction work.
It also aligns with common Australian codes of practice and contemporary WHS management system principles, making it an ideal foundation document for organisations seeking to strengthen their contractor control, improve WHS compliance and streamline safety documentation across their operations.
