Free Webinar -Practical advice for handling incidents involving contractors

CSG members LinkSafe are holding a free online event on Wednesday 24th May at 2pm AEDT on the topic of Practical Advice for Handling Incidents involving Contractors, to be presented by Mark Alston and Sue Bottrell.

Many organisations struggle to find a healthy balance when a contractor has an incident. Who conducts the investigation? What are the responsibilities of the principal contractor or client? What are the responsibilities of the contractor? Will everyone tell us the truth?

How contractor investigations are handled can significantly impact client/contractor relations, impact safety, increase liability and prevent continuous improvement of safety. Mark Alston from Investigation Differently, and Sue Bottrell will discuss the best way to achieve a healthy balance in managing investigations involving contractors.

Investigations Differently Director, Mark Alston, has extensive experience facilitating investigations that commenced when he was a Federal Agent in the Australian Federal Police. Mark has more than 20 years of experience in Australia and internationally in a diverse range of industries including defence, mining, government, health, utilities and construction https://investigationsdifferently.com.au/

Free Event - Industrial Manslaughter–What Does It Mean for Contractor Safety Management?

CSG members LinkSafe are holding a free online event on 27 July 2022, 2:00 - 3:00pm on the topic of Industrial Manslaughter–What Does It Mean for Contractor Safety Management?

Most states have introduced legislation creating the offence of industrial manslaughter and a number of cases have been run under the provisions, with a business owner recently being sentenced to 18 months' jail.

However, LinkSafe says that there is no need to panic. What you need is to understand better how the law applies to you, particularly in relation to the contractors you engage. The experts in contractor safety management, LinkSafe Legal, will help you understand how the law works and to whom it applies. They will also talk about how to make sure your contractor management systems support you, both to manage liability and to improve contractor safety, to prevent the serious incidents that this legislation targets.

Sue Bottrell is LinkSafe’s Legal Advisor and a leading expert in contractor safety management. You may remember her excellent video presentation during our CSG Talks short video series last year. She spoke about the legal implications arising from the tragic incident on the Eastern Freeway that resulted in the death of 4 Victorian Police officers. Of course that is being played out in the courts as we speak, so it’s timely to hear again what Sue had to say about the contractor management aspects of this incident. Her talk A very public tragedy – but who is really responsible? is available to members and non-members alike.
