A Contractor Management System allows companies to engage, manage and control contractors and subcontractors who you have legal OH&S responsibility for when they are working for you or at your workplace.
Over time Contractor Management Systems have evolved from digitised filing systems to now allow large organisations to manage their entire contractor workforce in one place.
Contract Management systems are now almost all cloud based with some extending their platform to cover finance, procurement and supply chain.
More and more Contract Management Systems are being adopted by large companies, and even by some small/medium sized enterprises. They are certainly becoming a dominant feature on the landscapes of Construction, Manufacturing, Mining, Utilities and Energy industries, as they try to manage and control their OH&S responsibilities.
What aspects of a company’s operations does a Contractor Management system cover?
Even if you outsource work to a contractor or subcontractor you still maintain Occupational Health & Safety responsibility.
This is where Contractor Management Systems come into their own, allowing for simple and quick recording and communicating of the following:
- Contractor pre-qualification and registration
- Employee inductions
- Electronic sign ins on site
- Insurance management
- Tracking contractor training qualifications and tickets
- Time tracking & Invoicing
- Desktop auditing
- Continuous company compliance
What is the role of a Contractor Management System?
An effective Contractor Management System enables companies, employees and contractors to manage the fulfilment of both parties legal responsibilities and requirements.
The perfect Contractor Management System is one that ensures both parties are continually fulfilling their OH&S obligations in a timely and effective manner, and also achieving contractual objectives and requirements.
Do many Training Companies integrate well with Contractor Management Systems?
Not all training companies have the policies, procedures and systems in place to effectively interact with all Contractor Management Systems. If you are a company who is looking for an OH&S training provider who can integrate with your Contractor Management System, you only need to ask them which systems they use.
There is one company who deals extensively with many Contractor Management Systems, and many Tier 1 customers who use them, such as Ariba, Aravo, Avetta, CM3, Coupa, Rapid Global, Zycus and many more.
