  • Management and supervision
  • Clients must decide what they need to do to
    effectively manage and supervise the
  • work of contractors. The more impact the
    contractors work could have on the health
  • and safety of anyone likely to be affected,
    the greater the management and supervisory
    responsibilities of the client.
  • Clients, contractors and sub-contractors should
    monitor their health safety performance.
