Managing Contractors Checklist

This Managing Contractors Checklist aligns with Aviva Loss Prevention Standards (Property V2.4) and helps organizations plan, vet, and manage contractors safely on site. It guides contractor selection and planning, including contracts, insurance verification, competence checks, and sharing policies such as hot work permit systems. It covers reviewing RAMS, training, subcontractor controls, and pre-work inspections. On-site management includes inductions, site rules, equipment safety and certifications, PAT testing, fire and explosion risk assessment, and permit-to-work controls for high‑risk and hot work tasks. The checklist prompts daily monitoring, incident and near-miss reporting, emergency contact procedures, sign-in/out, housekeeping, inspections and stop audits, regular meetings, and any necessary security adjustments. It concludes with completion notes and sign-off.
