ABSTRACT

This chapter is for small contractors, sub-contractors or suppliers. The first part deals with contractors in general, while the second part concerns builders and construction sites. A contractor is anyone who is called in to work for a company but who is not an employee of that company. A supplier is someone who supplies goods or services. Working safely with large firms can help your business – not working safely can damage your business – and theirs. What is more, it could get you, and them, a bad name!
