Contractor safety management is a critical component of ensuring a safe workplace. The purpose of the contractor safety program is to ensure the safety of students, faculty, staff, and University of Notre Dame (ND) guests as contractors perform work for the University. ND has a responsibility to ensure we acquire contract companies and vendors who have demonstrated good safety performance and adhere to regulatory requirements. ND is also responsible for making certain contractors are informed of hazards they may encounter while working on Campus and held to ND’s safety program requirements.
The highlights of the Contractor Safety Program include:
Vetting high-risk contract companies based on safety performance and insurance levels.
Requiring high-risk contractors who work on Campus to complete the ND general safety orientation.
Requiring ND personnel to actively oversee and manage the contractor by ensuring their adherence to regulatory and ND safety requirements.
Requiring contractors to report significant safety incidents to their ND contact person.
