Alcumus SafeContractor’s survey is designed to understand the specific challenges and risks around contractor management, as well as exploring the tools and techniques which firms are using to address these challenges. This will act as an industry benchmark and provide EHS managers with insight on how other businesses manage and source their contractors and suppliers.

Data will be anonymised in the report, and analysis of the results will be shared with participants through a whitepaper. In addition, as an incentive for completing the survey, respondents will be entered into a prize draw to win ‘The View from The Shard and a Three Course Meal for Two at Marco Pierre White's London Steakhouse Co.’ A winner will be chosen at random once the survey has closed.

To be eligible for this competition, please fill in your name and email address at the end of the survey. We will contact you to share the whitepaper and with relevant information we think may be of interest to you. You will be able to opt out of this at any time , for full details please see our privacy policy. All answers will be treated anonymously.
