Filling up the information

Getting the contractor to answer the following questions:

Risk assessment:• Contractors have the option to send in their risk assessments I prior to commencing of work, or else can fill up a daily risk and method statement.

Fire and confined area certs:• Information is filled up accordingly when issuing permit.

• Dust and poor housekeeping

• Potential to contaminate meat
