A potential contractor is required to meet a range of standards before being awarded a contract. It is the duty of the contracting company to ensure that the potential contractor meets the minimum requirement.
Risk increases with the loss of control from outsourcing work. With the continuing outsourcing of production, supply services, waste management, and similar non-core activities, companies struggle to standardize their contractor management processes.
Inadequate contractor management has led to incidents incurring losses due to substandard serviced delivery, and non-compliance to safety standards sometimes resulting in fatalities and injuries in handling waste resulting from operations.
