ChallengesThe Principal Contractor relationship is unique in the interpretation of the HSE act.
Not only is the Employer responsible for employees safety, the Principal is responsible to the safety of any contractors they engage.
This is a serious obligation and while Principals give construction companies “control” of the workplace when they commission works to be carried out. They still have a part to play
Without a robust Health and Safety culture and system in place the potential for accidents to happen increases. The Person in control of that workplace becomes a Principal as well when they engage sub trades and the potential for disaster compounds.
