Client companies are responsible for the health and safety of all individuals on their premises whether they are permanent employees, contractors / temporary workers or visitors.

Client companies have a responsibility to ensure that local rules, policies, instructions regarding specific premises, potenital risks related to the role and work types and any other hazard are communicated to all contractors / temporary workers prior to the commencement of their assignment. Managers of contractors / temporary workers should also ensure that the individual has the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), tools or other equipment or perform their assigned role safety.

Any issues relating to the Health and Safety of temporary workers should be reported to the Rullion Consultant / Branch, in the first instance, who will advise you, as necessary, if there are any areas for concern.

The Rullion Managing Director and the Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Manager are available to discuss and advise upon any area of Health and Safety relating to Rullion supplied contractors / temporary workers.

Training

Contractors / temporary workers provided by Rullion should be competent to perform the assignment. Client companies are responsible for providing contractors / temporary workers with specific training to enable the worker to undertake the daily tasks as required under the assignment.

No offer of training should be made to a contractor / temporary worker where there is no direct link between the training and the daily tasks as required under the specific assignment, as this may imply an employment contract.

Developmental training should not be offered to contractors / temporary workers, as this may also generate an implied contract of employment between the client company and the contractor / temporary worker, which would be considered in an Employment Tribunal should a claim be made against either the client company or Rullion.
