Session: Contractors as Operators - Panel

Outsourcing operations tasks to contractors results in the potential for those employees to be exposed to hazards within the facility. As a result, these employees need sufficient hazard information and communication. Integrating contractor operators into an existing process safety management program presents some unique challenges. This session seeks papers that address best practices and approaches to involving contractor operators into a company's PSM program and process safety culture. Stories of interest include the challenges associated with co-employment issues, as well as managing differences in risk tolerance and risk criteria between the operating company and the contractor.
