MCAA Releases New Guide on Subcontractor Safety Management

Selecting subcontractors that are fully committed to workplace safety and health is crucial to staying competitive in the mechanical construction industry. Subcontractors’ safety and health practices can positively or negatively impact your company’s ability to protect workers, make money, and secure future work. Following selection, properly managing subcontractors to ensure implementation of effective safety and health programs, and best safe work practices is just as critical. Safe projects are more profitable, and companies whose subcontractors consistently perform safely have a much easier time securing future work.

This guide provides mechanical construction employers with the information needed to objectively select subcontractors that are committed to jobsite safety and health, and assist them through the process of establishing and implementing the programs, policies, procedures, and safe work practices necessary to consistently perform their work safely. The guide will also help the user verify and document that the necessary safety and health measures have been established, and are consistently implemented.
