Contractor Management Checklist: Best Checklist Items

A checklist for contractors as part of your contractor management procedure is a critical cog for ensuring the right items are checked off as part of engaging new contractors and compliance, risk, site inductions and emergency procedures are all accounted for. A contractor management checklist is a specific checklist in the contractor management process. Contractors are engaged to work on site and as part of that a checklist helps ensure a consistent set of steps are acknowledged and actioned as part of those contractors working with your site or workplace. Below we talk about the most common items to include in a checklist:

Digitally record what was acknowledged, when and by whom

Using an online check list for contractors you can record when they ticked them off, who ticked them off and what was ticked off and that they viewed and understood the matching check list item to properly ensure that contractors are prepared for site, compliant, aware of the risks and procedures.

Put materials against check list items

It's all well and good to have a check list but what about the material that the check list items relate to? Ensuring that they are attached to the check list item so that as clicked and read, the contractor is acknowledging what they see versus just a general check list the click down through and haven't actually read.
