Contractor inductions
- All building trade or maintenance contractors working on University sites must hold a current General Safety Induction for Construction [Blue/White Card], as a minimum.
- University personnel, who are authorised to bring contractors on site, are responsible for providing local site induction and information regarding risks and expected preventative measures.
It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that all of their own staff or subcontractors, who are likely to work on our sites, are made aware of University procedures and standards, before they begin work. This information is found in the Contractors online induction
