Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Contractor safety management represents one of the most critical yet overlooked challenges facing organizations today. When accidents occur involving contractors and subcontractors, the spotlight increasingly falls on client organizations who face mounting reputational, legal, and financial consequences. Contractor Safety Management: From Compliance to Culture examines how responsibility for safety is shared across complex contractor relationships, which moves beyond the traditional approach of treating safety as a compliance checkbox exercise.Drawing on 17 major case studies from around the world, including the Grenfell Tower fire, the Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse, and various global energy projects, this book reveals how cultural differences, procurement practices, and leadership decisions directly impact safety outcomes. Written in an engaging, narrative-driven style, it combines real-world lessons with practical frameworks and original methodologies that readers can implement immediately. The book provides ready-to-use tools for strengthening contractor oversight, risk management, and accountability and demonstrates how to embed safety into contracts from the beginning, ultimately protecting organizations from devastating consequences.This book is for safety professionals, business leaders, senior executives, frontline safety managers, and policymakers who work with contractors and subcontractors. Its appeal will extend to organizations operating in multinational environments across industries including construction, oil and gas, retail, and infrastructure, providing the cultural intelligence and practical guidance needed to build resilient contractor safety systems that protect both people and business interests.
