About Our Safety Management for Contractors Course

Time Training Center’s 5-day, 30-hour Safety Management for Contractors in Construction Projects Course equips you with the knowledge and skills to manage contractor safety throughout the lifecycle of a construction project. Effective contractor safety management is a cornerstone of successful construction project execution. With increasing reliance on third-party contractors for critical site activities, organisations must ensure that contractors meet stringent health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards. Poorly managed contractor performance not only jeopardises worker safety but also exposes the organisation to reputational damage, legal consequences, and costly project delays.

This course provides a comprehensive framework for managing contractor safety throughout the lifecycle of a construction project—from contractor selection and pre-job planning to on-site supervision, performance monitoring, and post-project evaluation. You will explore key aspects such as risk profiling, interface agreements, contractor engagement strategies, HSE planning, emergency preparedness, and regulatory compliance.

Designed to equip you with the competencies necessary to lead and oversee contractor activities safely and efficiently, the training emphasises real-world applications through interactive exercises, audits, and case studies. Attendees will learn how to assess contractor capabilities, establish safety expectations, align responsibilities, and develop performance-driven partnerships with contractors.

By the end of the program, professionals will be able to implement structured contractor safety management systems that align with international best practices and ensure project success without compromising safety or compliance.
