Health and Safety Policy Arrangements

H & S: Contractor Selection Process

It is important the Company has an effective and documented vetting system to examine every contractor has a credible knowledge of health and safety best practice to match our own and will exercise it when working on our assignments.

This requirement will be fulfilled by asking each worker to complete a written induction questionnaire under the guidance of an approved Marisco manager to ensure they have the required level of understanding of general health and safety best practise and an appreciation of any specific site rules before they begin working on site.

Maintaining appropriate insurance cover is an essential part of health and safety. Our insurance underwriters specifically require Marisco to only engage bona fide contractors who have provided written proof:
● They carry a minimum £10m Public and Product Liability cover; and
● They carry a minimum £10m Employer's Liability cover; and
● They carry a minimum £1m Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) cover; and
● Their policy has an 'Indemnity to Principals' clause.

For our purposes, the definition of a labour-only subcontractor is a HMRC verified self-employed individual, who is only providing their labour and working under the direct control of Marisco for one specific job.

The definition of a bona-fide contractor is any other kind of entity who will provide workers on our sites other than a labour-only subcontractor.

All labour-only contractors will be employed on a zero-hour employment contract.
