Managing Contractor

Webinar Synopsis

Most contractor safety programs focus on checkboxes – certificates, insurance, and snapshots of past performance. While these are important, they don’t always provide meaningful assurance. In the Canadian context, moving beyond compliance means understanding factors that are harder to fake: leadership commitment, safety culture, and the strength of a contractor’s occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS).

This webinar examines what due diligence really looks like across Canada, why hiring clients can still face exposure even when documentation appears “in order,” and how shifting from lagging indicators to leading indicators can reduce risk, disruption, and legal exposure under provincial and territorial OHS laws.

You Will Learn:

Where contractor compliance programs fail - and the real-world consequences for hiring clients
How to build the business case for a robust contractor safety management program that works in Canada
The legal responsibilities of hiring clients, contractors, and constructors under Canadian OHS legislation
How to move beyond lagging indicators (TRIF, LTIs) to leading indicators, starting with the quality of a contractor’s OHSMS
How Canadian safety professionals assess contractor safety programs for maturity, accountability, and alignment with recognized best practices

Who Should Attend?

If you are a Canadian based company and responsible for hiring, qualifying, or managing contractors, this session is for you, including:
Project owners and owner reps
General contractors and prime contractors
Procurement, operations, and project management teams
Health and safety leaders, supervisors, and site leadership
