| Outsourcing has become an effective
way of maximising resources and profits for many organisations.
However, it is not the “health and safety liability
sump” that is frequently assumed. A fundamental principle
of health and safety law is that you can delegate duties
but you cannot easily delegate responsibility. Any company
that employs the services of a contractor to carry out work
on their behalf (whether for cleaning, catering, construction
or anything else) has a duty under the law to take reasonable
steps to ensure that person is competent.
The experience of Turner & Townsend in the construction
industry allows our clients to benefit from an unrivalled
level of expertise in contractor assessment and monitoring.
Our services in this area include:-
- Provision of Pre-Qualification Assessment Questionnaires.
- Vetting of responses.
- On site monitoring and feedback to the client.

on client sites.
