Document background
The Contractor Health and Safety Policy is essential for organizations operating in Nigeria that engage contractors, subcontractors, or temporary workers. This document ensures compliance with Nigerian health and safety legislation, including the Labour Act, Factories Act, and Employee's Compensation Act, while establishing clear safety protocols and responsibilities. The policy is particularly crucial given Nigeria's robust industrial sector and the need to maintain consistent safety standards across all operations. It provides comprehensive guidance on risk assessment, safety training, incident reporting, and emergency procedures, helping organizations fulfill their duty of care while protecting workers and maintaining legal compliance.
