Because of high turn around rates and lack of safety awareness of contractor employees, contractor management presents a great challenge in occupational health and safety management. This is one of the reasons OHSAS 18001 treats contract management as an essential element of an organization’s occupational health and safety management system. This study attempts to achieve effective management of contractor safety by following the approach of ISO 31000. The rationale is that most of the organizations implementing OHSAS 18001 or Taiwan Occupational Safety and Health Management System fail to recognize the importance of the framework concept advocated by ISO 31000. Therefore, contract management is treated as a process rather than a program or element of the traditional OHSAS 18001 approach. Subjects of the case study cited in this research include decommissioning and installation of a flexo printer, boiler inspection, and product shipment of a carton factory. Procedures for hazard identification, risk assessment or analysis, and risk control are described in great detail in the case study. Accident scenario and risk assessment tables are used to rank the risk associated with a particular job or procedure. It is hoped that the approach illustrated in this study can offer an alternative for contractor safety management.
