It is the responsibility of management to address contractor safety. Management makes no provision to include contractors within the scope of the worksite's safety and health program. Management policy requires contractor to conform to OSHA regulations and other legal requirements. Management designates a representative to monitor contractor safety and health practices, and that individual has authority to stop contractor practices that expose host or contractor employees to hazards. Management informs contractor and employees of hazards present at the facility.
Management investigates a contractor's safety and health record as one of the bidding criteria.
