Contractors turn up and start because nobody checked. This makes approval a gate with a clear list, so the check happens before the work rather than after an incident.
What's Included
- A defined approval list the same for every contractor.
- A hard gate before starting not a form filed afterwards.
- Evidence with expiry dates so approval does not become permanent.
- An assistant that lists what is outstanding.
How To Use
- Make it a gate, not a form. An unenforced check is not a check.
- Put expiry dates on the evidence. Approval is not permanent.
- Check at the point of scheduling, not at the point of arrival.
- Keep the evidence. It is the first thing anyone asks for after an incident.
Check cover with the vendor insurance tracker, and brief them via site inductions.
