Contractor Management Policy
SORL outsources a minor part of its operations to external contractors and suppliers and, as such the health and safety of these parties is of concern. SORL will therefore always ensure that its contractors and suppliers maintain acceptable practices in HSE.
The following arrangements will be in place for the management of SORL contractor’s HSE performance:
The SORL contractor is always an independent entity and is responsible for the actions of its employees and contractors.
HSE issues will be fundamental consideration in the selection of contractors and suppliers.
Contractors shall be required to abide by SORL’s HSE Policies and Procedures.
Before commencement of projects, contractors shall provide SORL with a copy of their HSE Plan. All contractors shall be responsible for notifying their employees and contractors and respective subcontractors of all HSE hazards to which they may be exposed during execution of work at SORL.
All contractors shall supply their employees and contractors and subcontractors with the necessary HSE training and instruction, personal protective equipment and enforce such operating practices as are necessary to provide a safe work environment.
Contractors’ activities and operations will be audited periodically and SORL may recommend and enforce new HSE practices to improve existing practices.
Contractors must communicate information on hazards and accident prevention to their employees and contractors and subcontractors through regular safety meetings.
Contractors must report injuries or incidents related to SORL jobs.
