Contractor safety management is a vital responsibility
of both the hiring company and the contractor.
Owner companies have a direct responsibility
to prevent injuries to company and contractor
employees, as well as to prevent damage to property,
disruption of operations, and loss of production. This
paper describes the components of a comprehensive
program consisting of four key management
processes: Contractor Safety Prequalification; Pre-
Job Safety Explanation Meetings; Facility Safety
Orientation; and Site Safety Performance Monitoring.
