Safety: Working With & Prequalifying Subcontractors

Importance of Subcontractor Prequalification

The use of subcontractor labor has increased over the last few years primarily because of the continued labor shortage in our industry. And with the increased use, roofers have exposure to a variety of risks.  Big or small company, the risks for roofing contractors are there!

Picking subcontractors to work with requires due diligence. 

It's time to consider adding or improving your prequalification program.  Adding this type of program gives you a formal, comprehensive way to weed out contractors who fail to meet your standards. It also sends a very strong message that you take safety seriously.

Prequalifying every subcontractor you’re considering working with is important to reduce risks that could impact your business, such as subcontractor default, substandard work, project delays, complying with laws and regulations, AND maintaining and mitigating safety risks!

In this high-level discussion, we'll cover these key areas:

• Onboarding and Prequalification: We will discuss the importance of contractor pre-qualification, how to establish a pre-qualification program, the common safety metrics utilized, 3rd party software, and more.

• When Subs Don't Have Worker's Comp Coverage: You don't want to wait until after an incident occurs to find out your sub is not covered. Tips for how to check for coverage, documentation, consequences, upstream risks, etc.

• Legal: We will discuss contract provisions you can use that can help lessen or eliminate risk with subcontractor usage on job sites.

You don't want to miss this opportunity to learn valuable information so that you and your company can mitigate the risks and limit exposure when using and hiring subcontractors.

We know many of you want to get back to in-person events, so we hope you opt to join us in person!  Lunch will be provided.  (A virtual option will also be available.)
