About this course

Contractors bring skills, equipment and flexibility, but they also bring risk onto your site. This course gives you a practical system to manage that risk under South African law. It is built around a five-stage cycle you will use in every module, and it ends with a Contractor Safety Toolkit you can use at work from tomorrow.
