Managing safety when working with contractors. Complex interaction systems: from pre-qualification (PQ) to final audit. Cases on introducing safety passports and digital access systems for contractors at industrial sites.
HSE Supervising: A Key Tool for Organizing Systematic Control
Implementation of a supervising tool for systematic control of contractors on construction and investment projects. The practice includes engaging external auditors for targeted inspections, documentation audits, technical oversight of high-risk work (at heights), and training contractor workers.
Contractor Management in EPC Projects. Approaches to Training, Motivation, and Development of Contractor Employees
Comprehensive contractor safety management system for large EPC projects. Includes entrance testing with native speakers, practical training on specialized grounds, VR simulators for engineering staff, and automated tracking of training and violations.
Interaction with Partners at INC
A five-step contractor management system, including contract classification by risk level, point-based qualification assessment (Traffic Light system), automated facility admission, and regular audits. Communication and engagement tools have been implemented: a counterparty's personal account, a mandatory 14-day onboarding course, safety forums, "Safe Thursday," and a best contractor competition with a prize fund.
How to Manage Risks When Working with Contractors?

Application of Dynamic Risk Assessment in HSE Management
A two-level occupational risk management system at a large industrial enterprise, including primary assessment by expert organizations and daily operational assessment. Visual tools for line personnel (hazardous area passports), contractor interaction algorithms, and a new motivation model for HSE representatives have been implemented.

Key Safety Rules
The article describes SIBUR's approach to the application of key safety rules, deviation from which can lead to the most serious incidents. Readers will learn how these rules are brought to the attention of employees, contractors, and visitors, as well as what sanctions are applied under zero tolerance for violations. In addition, the material explains how internal investigation of violations helps identify their causes and prevent precursors to incidents.
Language Barriers
When implementing large construction projects, companies often engage contractor organizations that do not always speak the same language as the client's workers. When an online translator is unavailable or does not allow specific technical requirements to be quickly conveyed during occupational safety control, a developed collection of short phrases is used. It is compiled from the most frequently used words when interacting with contractors and can be edited to suit the specific features of a...
Safety Memo
Safety memos are developed for new employees, contractors, and visitors so that they can know and understand the features of the facility. Posting notices with a QR code allows downloading the document to a mobile device and reduces the amount of printed materials. Having a memo helps reduce the likelihood that a worker will forget or miss something during the introductory briefing.
Safe Work Culture as an Employee's Personal Priority
A comprehensive communication program to form a conscious attitude toward safety. It includes engaging five-minute safety talks, per-shift risk assessments via a mobile app, behavioral audits, and a motivation system for personnel and contractors.
