Do you use contractors?
This course is suitable for anyone with organisational responsibilities for the appointment or management of contractors.
For many reasons, organisations of all sizes constantly outsource non-core business activities to contractors, an approach that has a number of advantages. It is essential, however that contractors are used and managed within the context of an effective management system that takes account of legal requirements and best practice.
The recent House of Lords decision in respect of R v Associated Octel, where Octel unsuccessfully appealed against a Section 3 prosecution (health and safety at Work Act) has meant that this has now become a difficult area legally for employers.
