Contractor Safety Management
The Contractor Safety Management course provides specialized training on managing contractor safety, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance. It equips safety managers with the skills to oversee contractor activities and reduce risks, ensuring a safe and compliant work environment on project sites.

What is the Contractor Safety Management?
The Contractor Safety Management course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides comprehensive training on managing contractor safety performance across all industries. In most high-hazard industries (construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, utilities, mining), contractors perform the majority of the work and are involved in the majority of the incidents. Managing contractor safety is therefore the most impactful safety management competency for any organisation that uses contractors — which is virtually every organisation.
The curriculum covers the contractor safety management lifecycle: pre-qualification evaluation (safety performance review, programme assessment, ISNetworld/Avetta/Veriforce platforms), contract HSE specifications (scope, standards, reporting, penalties), bridging documents (aligning contractor programmes with host employer requirements), contractor orientation and site-specific training, onsite contractor monitoring (inspections, observations, audits), contractor performance measurement (scorecards, TRIR comparison, leading indicators), corrective action management, multi-employer worksite compliance (OSHA’s creating/exposing/correcting/controlling employer policy), and the programme governance that sustains contractor safety performance over time. All training is delivered 100 percent online through Microsoft Teams and the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS.
Upon completion, graduates receive a certificate, wallet card, and transcript, employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
