Subcontractor Requirements:
ALRAND GLOBAL utilizes the services of a select group of subcontractors whose attention to safety, environmental matters and work ethic is proven. Our Certified Quality Management System prescribes an approach for the selection and management of subcontractors involving term contracts, a preferred suppliers list, regular audits of performance and in-house subcontractor training. Significant tasks are competitively tendered to maintain cost control discipline and all adopted rates are benchmarked with ALRAND GLOBAL’ wider industry experience.
In addition, subcontracts are not let until appropriate insurances are in place to protect the interests of both our customer and ALRAND GLOBAL. ALRAND GLOBAL sets up annual contracts with selected subcontractors and secures updated certificates of insurance annually.
Important factors in ALRAND GLOBAL’ selection and management of subcontractors include:
- Formal review of the subcontractor’s in-house training records, with particular attention to specific health and safety training.
- Field audits of health and safety competency undertaken by ALRAND GLOBAL’ site representatives as well as spot audits by senior ALRAND GLOBAL staff. Records of audits are maintained and observations are shared with ALRAND GLOBAL staff and subcontractor principals.
- Circulation to subcontractors of lessons learned from near misses/incidents.
- Minimizing subcontractor staff changes through the duration of work to maximize individual knowledge of the site-specific conditions and requirements.
Subcontractors are expected to have all the necessary training for work at any facility including obtaining any site-specific training prior to the start of work. Project specific
training and orientation including but not limited to a Job Safety Analysis and Project Health and Safety Plan would occur prior to the start of the specific task or work phase.

About BCSP
The Board of Certified Safety Professionals
The Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) began in 2004 as a peer certification board. It is not a member organization and does not provide services usually offered by member organizations. Membership in any organization is not a requirement for certification.
Its sole purpose is to certify practitioners in the safety profession. Safety professionals identify hazards and evaluate them for the potential to cause injury or illness to people or harm of property and the environment. The safety professional recommends administrative and engineering controls that eliminate or minimize the risk and danger posed by hazards. They work with professionals in other disciplines in many different job settings. They work for companies, government agencies and private organizations or offer individual professional services. They may engage in design, planning, program management, training, audit and other aspects of practice. Additionally, they apply hazard recognition, evaluation and control knowledge and skills for equipment, systems, facilities and processes, or in operations, manufacturing, transportation, construction, insurance services and other enterprises.
Since its inception, over 300 individuals have achieved the CSP certification and nearly 150 currently hold it. The value of the CSP continues to grow. In the Iraq, numerous laws, regulations and standards cite it. More importantly, many companies include it in position standards, government agencies rely on it and contracts for safety services require it. The average person holding the CSP credential today earns nearly $20,000 more than others in the safety field who hold no certification.
Setting the Standard;
The Board of Certified Safety Professionals is recognized as the leader in high quality credentialing for safety, health, and environmental practitioners in order to enhance the safety of people, property, and the environment.
BCSP:
- Sets standards for professional safety practice.
- Evaluates the academic and professional experience qualifications of CSP candidates and applicants.
