Contractor’s Responsibilities
Manchester Tank and Equipment has a duty to ensure that Contractors are not exposed to risks of workplace injuries and illnesses. This responsibility means that the site will enforce on Contractors the standards of health and safety it considers necessary, as it would on its own employees.
As part of the site’s safe system of work a Site Contact will be appointed to all Contractors and will be the primary reference point whilst on site. The Site Contact will ensure that the Contractor is familiar with site specific safety and environmental requirements such as emergency procedures, site Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO), chemical handling and Permit to Work Systems.
It is the responsibility of the Site Contact to meet with the Contractors prior to the commencement of work to plan the manner in which the work is to be performed and document on a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) the job steps, hazards and control measures required to complete the job safely and minimise environmental risks while working on site.
The Site Contact is also responsible for ensuring that the Contractor’s activities are supervised whilst they are on site.
