Contractor HSE Performance Auditing

Service summary

An evaluation of a contractor’s performance against agreed health, safety and environmental obligations. The audit examines operational controls, supervision and the reliability of reported performance across selected contracted activities.

The service provides evidence for contractor review and escalation decisions. It does not take over the contractor’s supervision role or guarantee that reported incident rates represent the full extent of exposure or performance.

Key objectives

• Review performance reports, incident records and previous audit findings.
