Happy Brew Beer!

It’s a fresh new year and maybe you’re thinking about installing a new tank or constructing a cool room. You’ll probably need to engage a contractor to help you create your vision. What are your obligations and how can we help you? 

Why do I need to manage my contractors and how can I prove I have met my legislative obligations?  

An effective contractor management plan will assist you to keep your guests and employees safe while any construction work commences, or temporary labour hire is engaged during this busy time at your brewery.

Implementing simple solutions and documenting your process can give you peace of mind avoiding the considerable penalties for incidents and injuries. In the past this has included total loss of property and serious injury or death when contractors have not received proper consultation or supervision. Not to mention the personal liabilities and emotional recovery for all involved after a serious incident.  

 As part of the BrewSafe program we partner with you to manage your obligations and guide the contractor management system.

What are some of the real-world solutions to help you sleep well at night knowing you have engaged the right contractor and they know your site risks?

Guiding you through the Contractor Management process including some of the more challenging obligations:

• Pre-qualifying checklists

• Induction and training for labour hire

• Site inductions for trades

• High risk work permits

If you need any assistance wrangling your contractors safely, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Contact Libby Morris on +61 448 759 700  or email [email protected].
