What we will cover
‖ Let’s answer these questions:
 Why are businesses relying on contractors more than ever before?
 What does OSHA expect when it comes to contractors?
 What types of data should you be collecting about your contractors?
 What are elements of a good screening program?
 Who else from your organization needs to be involved?
 What are the different ways you can approach prequalification?
Why so many contractors?
‖ Key drivers that
increase usage of
contractors…
IF YOUR BUSINESS USES CONTRACTORS…
You should be considering them in all your risk
management programs and processes.
 Lean-hiring practices
 Reduced benefits cost
 Possible tax incentives
 Access to expertise that’s
not available in-house
 Flexible employment &
staffing models
Mitigate hidden business risk
 Prevent fatalities, reduce the number
of injuries & other unwanted
outcomes
 Measure all contractors against
company-defined “acceptable risk”
standards
 Avoid time lost due to incident
investigation
 Avoid cost overrides
 Decrease the amount of possible
citations, violations, and penalties
 Decrease legal exposure
Why prequalify?
Improve safety and quality efforts
 Fewer people going home injured
 Influx of qualified workers
 Improve project execution and
operations
 Support quality management and
Continuous Process Improvement
(CPI)
 Maximize production time
 Demonstrate corporate social
responsibility
 Protect corporate brand
Why prequalify?
‖ Contractors that are prequalified
consistently outperform their peers
on key safety performance indicators.
Better Safety Outcomes!
What does OSHA expect?
Date: 7/9/13
From: Pat Cunningham., Director of Safety & Auditing Services,
BROWZ, LLC
To: Dorothy Dougherty, Directorate of Standards & Guidance
US Department of Labor – OSHA
Greetings,
I am looking for a ‘guideline’ document from OSHA which outlines its pre-qualification
expectations/desires of business owners when hiring contractors.
I did a search of the OSHA web site, and cannot find a single source document that
provides business owners recommendations, or criteria for screening contractors.
There is related verbiage regarding owner/contractor pre-qualification embedded in the
following
General Industry Standards: 119, .120, .146, .252, .272 & .1200
There may be other standard references I have missed, but I believe this illustrates how
embedded the content is for anyone who desires guidance from OSHA on this topic.
‖ OSHA Standards
1. Process Safety
2. Hazardous communications
3. Permit-required Confined Spaces
4. Control of Hazardous Energy,
LOTO
5. Welding, Cutting, Brazing
(fire prevention)
6. Special Industries – Grain
handling
7. Hazard communication
OSHA Standards & Implications
OSHA Standard #1
‖ Process Safety, 1910.119(h):
 “When selecting a contractor, shall obtain and
evaluate information regarding the contact employer’s
safety performance and programs.”
 Periodic evaluation of contractor performance
 Inform contractor: fire, explosion, toxic release
potentials, EAP
 Maintain contract employee injury/illness log
 Contractors assure that each employee is trained to
perform their work safely
OSHA Standard #2
‖ Hazardous Materials, 1910.120 (b)(1)(iv):
 Contractors and sub-contractors: retained for work in
hazardous waste operations, shall inform them of
potential fire, explosion, H&S and emergency
response. The written program shall be made available
to contractors and subs.
OSHA Standard #3
‖ Permit-Required Confined Spaces, 1910.146 (c)(8):
• When a “Host employer” arranges to have employees of another
employer “contractor” perform CSE work:
- Inform the contractor that the workplace contains
permit-required spaces
- Apprise the contractor of the elements of the hazards and
the experience within the space
- Ensure necessary precautions
- Coordinate entry operations when both are in space
- At the conclusion of entry work – contractor debriefing
(hazards confronted or created)
OSHA Standard #4
‖ Control of Hazardous Energy, LOTO,
1910.147 (f) (2) (i):
• Outside personnel (contractors):
• Whenever outside service personnel are to be engaged
in activities covered by the standard, the on-site
employer and outside employer shall inform each other
of their respective LOTO procedures
• The on-site employer shall ensure that his/her
employees understand and comply with the restrictions
and prohibitions of the outside employer’s LOTO
program
OSHA Standard #5
‖ Welding, Cutting, Brazing [fire prevention &
protection], 1910.252 (a) (2) (xiii) (D):

emergency action plan to contractors
OSHA Standard #7
‖ Hazard Communication, 1910.1200 (e) (2):

hazard communication program includes:
- Method used to provide the other employers on-site access
to Safety Data Sheets
- Precautionary measures needed to protect workers during
normal conditions and emergencies
- Labeling system used in the workplace
Business Implication #1

than one employer may be citable for a hazardous
condition that violates an OSHA standard (types of
employers):
- Creating – created the unsafe condition
- Exposing – their employee’s were exposed
- Correcting – responsible for installation/maintenance
- Controlling – worksite supervisory authority
Business Implication #2

 H&S pre-qualification screening
 Provided “equally effective protection” and abide by
rules of host
 Orientation, EAP, and knowledge of VPP site
 Hazard ID and correction
 Provision for removing contractor or its employees for
violating work rules

Who needs to be involved?
Stakeholder: Area of concern / involvement:
Supply Chain / Procurement Will you be circumventing my current processes?
Project Manager Can I hire contractors I want? Is this going to slow things
down?
Safety Department What if contractors aren’t safe? How will I know when
they are on-site?
Legal What if processes are not documented correctly? Are we
increasing our liability exposure?
Current Contractors What are the expectations? Are there equal safety
expectations for similar contractors? Why do I have to
submit so much information?
Government / OSHA Was the event preventable? Were contractors involved?
Were the contractors pre-screened?
Consider perspectives of other stakeholders
Prequalification Option #1
Bad idea

duties - responsibilities & authority

- Straight forward pricing
- Ability to benchmark ‘best practices’ & desire for continuous process improvement
Ready to get started?
‖ Where is your organization today?

- Prequalification Program Elements
- Score indicator (gap analysis)
- Will be emailed to you
Take risk assessment
Closing “Nuggets”
‖ Summary:
 Contractor companies are utilized by most companies, the added risk exposure should be
assessed and there are benefits to managing the risk
 While there is no single source document from OSHA regarding their expectations for
contractor pre-qualification, there are requirements embedded into various standards
 There is a wealth of information that can be collected from contractors – client specific
 Many stakeholders – whose perspectives all need to be incorporated into the decision
making process
 Two options for managing contractor pre-qualification: in-house, or use of a service provider
Closing comments
 Become to others, “The ____ Guy or Gal“
 Respect for all workers & create win-win
situations
 Leave a positive legacy

  • 8. What does OSHA expect? Date: 7/9/13 From: Pat Cunningham., Director of Safety & Auditing Services, BROWZ, LLC To: Dorothy Dougherty, Directorate of Standards & Guidance US Department of Labor – OSHA Greetings, I am looking for a ‘guideline’ document from OSHA which outlines its pre-qualification expectations/desires of business owners when hiring contractors. I did a search of the OSHA web site, and cannot find a single source document that provides business owners recommendations, or criteria for screening contractors. There is related verbiage regarding owner/contractor pre-qualification embedded in the following General Industry Standards: 119, .120, .146, .252, .272 & .1200 There may be other standard references I have missed, but I believe this illustrates how embedded the content is for anyone who desires guidance from OSHA on this topic.
