A Subcontractor Onboarding Check Before the First Shift
A consistent pre-start process helps teams confirm the scope, access, contacts and evidence needed for a contractor's work.
Confirm the Work and the Boundaries
Before a contractor starts, confirm the agreed service, location, dates, points of contact and any limits on access or information sharing. Make sure the contractor knows how to raise a safety concern and who can authorise a change in scope.
Complete the provider's required checks for the engagement and record who reviewed them. Requirements differ by service and role, so use the current internal checklist rather than relying on a generic list.
Prepare the Team Handoff
Tell relevant staff what work is scheduled and how the supplier will identify themselves. After the first visit, capture any issue that needs correction before the next engagement.
Vendor Management helps coordinate supplier records and documents. The provider remains responsible for onboarding and access decisions.
