Contractor Management: They’re involved in your risk, are they involved in your culture?

Contractors are vital contributors across high-risk industries - from oil & gas and chemicals to manufacturing and logistics. Yet too often, they’re treated as outsiders, excluded from core safety systems, leadership engagement, and organisational learning despite their critical role in Process Safety Management, particularly in areas like Control of Work and Emergency Response.

In this high-energy session, DEKRA’s Safety experts reveal how applying Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) principles, grounded in neuroscience, can transform contractor engagement and significantly reduce the risk of serious injuries and fatalities.
We’ll explore what world-class contractor partnerships really look like - where third parties are not just managed but meaningfully integrated as part of your team and culture.
You’ll discover how to move beyond compliance-driven approaches to contractor safety by embedding emotionally intelligent leadership, exposure-reducing system design, and brain-aligned trust-building practices that enhance decision-making and human reliability.
In this session, we’ll explore:
  • How to embed contractors into your safety culture to manage third-party risks more effectively
  • Why Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) principles transform safety for everyone - fostering care, collaboration, and shared ownership across workforce boundaries
  • Practical strategies to align governance, leadership, systems, and frontline realities into one unified safety approach
Key Learnings:
  • Uncover hidden risks in contractor engagement and elevate contractors as trusted partners in safety
  • Shift from bolt-on compliance to active Process Safety integration through clear governance and meaningful engagement
  • Apply HOP principles to design out error-likely conditions and strengthen human reliability
  • Build a culture where safety is inclusive, shared, and consistently delivered — for everyone, employee or contractor
