The benefits of outsourcing facility management and engineering services are well established and documented. However, the management of third party contractors on customer sites presents many challenges to Health & Safety / Facility Managers. There are several characteristics about contractors working on site that put contractors into a high risk category such as: contractors undertaking non-standard / hazardous tasks, contractors may be unfamiliar with the site, customers are often unfamiliar with the contractors and their competencies,and contractors probably work outside internal safety and quality procedures. These characteristics elevate health and safety risk but also pose risks to the integrity of the core operation and infrastructure. The number of contractors on site varies, depending on the degree of outsourcing and the nature of the facility but a typical facility would have 100+ service provider contracts active during any given year. (This does not take account of contractors associated with project works). The Complaince Management System (CMS) is a web enabled database tool that comprehensively manages all aspects of third party contractors with intuitive drill-down tools to rapidly access all relevant information and provide an integrated view of contractors working on site as well as recordkeeping of all compliance records.
