This 45-minute self-paced online module provides an overview of the management of contractors in the context of process safety management (PSM). It will help you ensure contractors have the right process safety competencies to work safely during their work.
This is Module 20 of 15 from the EI's Process Safety Management full training course, designed to provide an introduction to PSM and illustrate how the PSM Framework can be applied to identify address the hazards that are involved in the most industries and provide assurance that risk is being managed to a tolerable level. Each module can be purchased individually, but individuals will benefit most from the full course covering all 20 elements.
Based on content from the EI’s renowned High level framework for process safety management guidance ('PSM framework'), a comprehensive process safety management framework which captures industry good practice in PSM, and taught by a leading expert in process safety and former deputy director of the UK Health & Safety Executive, using recorded presentations and exercises.

Agenda
Purpose:- To ensure contractors have the right process safety competencies to work safely on hazardous plant and equipment and without compromising the integrity of the plant or control systems during their work.
- Effective selection procedure
- based on process safety performance and not just occupational health performance
- demonstration of appropriate competencies and knowledge about major hazards before being selected
- Use of preferred contractor’s register / contractor ‘passport scheme’
- Pre-control of work via method statements / works orders and other risk assessments
- Pre-work induction and safety briefings at start of the site work
- Importance of job ‘walk through’ discussions to check understanding and compliance with method statements
- Pre-work checks to ensure that individual contractor employees meet the specified competency standards
- Opportunity to stop work if dangerous situation occurs or uncertainty about risk
- Suitable supervision / periodic checks during work
- Hand back procedures and verification of integrity and function
- Post-work reviews
- Contractors' feedback on the condition of plant and equipment and gathering of intelligence about plant / equipment condition
- Appropriate sanctions for poor performance / unsafe behaviours / management of risk
What will I learn?
- How to ensure contractors have the right process safety competencies to work safely on hazardous plant and equipment and without compromising the integrity of the plant or control systems during their work
- Main process safety considerations in the selection and deployment of contractors
- Importance of contractor performance monitoring and communication about risks before and during work
- How method statements and other forms of risk assessment support safe working
Who is this suitable for?
- Anyone who would like to develop and expand their understanding of process safety, within the energy sector and the wider network, such as water, power and nuclear sectors.
- Anyone involved in major hazard processes, design and operations
- Safety professionals
- Engineers
- Graduates
How good is it?
- Taught by a leading expert in process safety and former deputy director of the UK Health & Safety Executive
- Based on the EI’s renowned High level framework for process safety management guidance document, which provides the energy industry with a consistent and effective approach to answer two key questions with confidence:
- How will we assure the integrity of the operation?
- How will we know we are doing it?
