Dear Ajivasudev

Warm welcome to the forum...

Let me share my view regarding your case... Nowadays all the major industries in India are giving high importance to Safety... They are doing a good amount of homework before giving a contract to the construction companies...

Following are the steps included in Contractor Safety Management System:

1. Contractor Selection

2. Contract Preparation

3. Contract Award

4. Orientation and Training

5. Managing the Work

6. Periodic Evaluation

Your question comes in the first step... For this any reputed company before selecting a contractor will ask and analyze the data for the last three years... Mainly will access the following:

1. Amount of Insurance Payed during last three years

2. Incident data of last three years

3. Any legal cases on the company from the last three years

4. A through survey of contractor performace which mainly includes the following:

*Has the contractor had previous successful performance here or at other companies?

*Does the contractor have qualified, trained, experienced personnel and supervision for all safety aspects of the work?

*Does the contractor have a formal (written) safety program, conduct job safety inspections, and maintain incident investigation logs?

*Is the contractor insured and bonded?

*Does the contractor have sufficient resources (equipment, staff) to complete the work safely?

*Can the contractor adequately monitor subcontractor activity?

*Are their written safety programs credible, comprehensive, and current?

*Can the contractor show evidence that the programs are effective (for example, do they have safety audit records with measurable results)?

*Is there documentation of safety training, as well as appropriate certifications and licensing?

*Are there clearly delineated safety roles and responsibilities for everyone in the contractor organization: management, staff, supervision, workers?

*Workers knowledge?

*Medical checkups?

*Referances from previos employer

I think from all the above you will get some idea... It's not so easy to become a reputed company... There must be system based working, then only we can acheive it... It's not possible when comes Individuals Working... So you prepare your action plan with clear objectives and goals where you and your company wants to reach after three years... Then make action plan to accomplish all these goals...

Remember: All these is possible only with a clear will and support of your management... All the best...

Hope this will help you...

...you need to take multiple rounds in a day in proper gear and counsel any person you meet irrespective of whether he is violating some standard. Like even to an ok guy ask a few questions and tell that he is doing a good job on safety and that his family must be proud of him. The effect of this is people get into a habit if somebody keeps asking day in and day out and there is a lot of peer pressure that builds up. You also need to ask people to be vigilant about people who violate safety norms or adopt shortcuts as it may be his mistake that may cause injury to you...plus you can have a safety day in a week anointed where even the plant manager joins the workers in the canteen for a word or two and raise a toast over juice or soup....and so on.
