Purpose
The purpose of the Contractor Management (CM) process is to establish clear accountabilities, ensure active engagement of contractors, and provide a consistent CM program to help eliminate environmental, health and safety (EHS) incidents and injuries involving contractors.
Objectives
Objectives of the CM process include:
- Establishing a consistent workflow to systematically manage contractors conducting work activities on behalf of JO
- Defining a risk-based approach for managing contracted work, including the identification of hazards, potential consequences and effective safeguards
- Enabling Procurement/Supply Chain Management (P/SCM) contracting processes
Scope
The CM process applies to work performed by JO, contractors and subcontractors. This includes work performed at locations within the scope of the IIR Process. The target audience for the CM process is JO personnel responsible for the contractor selection process and for managing third-party contractors or fabrication service providers.
Subcontractors are considered part of the contractor workforce. Therefore, the CM process applies to subcontractors, including lower-tier subcontractors performing work for JO. It is understood through contractual language that it is the responsibility of primary contractors to ensure their subcontractors meet JO SHEERS expectations, including the CM process requirements.
The CM process does not directly address facility design/engineering contractors that may have a direct or indirect impact on Process Safety Management (e.g., designing instrument protective systems) that could result in process safety events. Existing Facilities Design and Solutions processes and associated subject matter experts (SMEs) must be used to assess and manage such contractors
