AERM Contractor Check Starter Workbook

Manage contractor readiness from appointment to handback — with a clear, structured process.

The AERM Contractor Check Starter Workbook is a practical working tool for event organisers, venues, production teams and safety professionals responsible for appointing, assuring and managing contractors.

It helps you move beyond simply collecting documents and provides a structured way to assess whether contractors are genuinely ready to mobilise and work safely within the event environment.

Use the workbook to help you:

• Define contractor scope and responsibilities
• Carry out pre-appointment checks
• Track assurance information and outstanding actions
• Review RAMS and supporting documentation
• Check people, plant, equipment and specialist activities
• Identify contractor interfaces and coordination requirements
• Assess mobilisation readiness
• Record the decision to start or hold work
• Monitor contractors during delivery
• Manage changes and actions
• Record completion and handback

Built from more than 30 years of frontline event safety and operational experience, the workbook is designed to turn contractor assurance into a practical management process rather than a paperwork exercise.

This is an editable PowerPoint working workbook — not a generic completed document. Adapt it to your event, venue, project and contractor arrangements.

For more detailed RAMS development, it can also be used alongside the AERM RAMS Starter Workbook.
