The Pivotal Role of Health & Safety in Camera Procurement

It’s no secret that health and safety is a critical part of the success of any construction project – as well as the well-being of employees, it also plays a key role in managing costs. Ensuring safety compliance from the start, during contractor and supplier selecting processes is critical. By vetting that the correct type and level of safety accreditations and insurances are held and up to date, procurement managers can help to prevent costly delays, legal liabilities, and damage to company reputations.
