How do I check an earthworks subcontractor's compliance documents?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Review the subcontractor's compliance documents by checking their SWMS, insurance certificates, and qualifications. Make sure they align with your project's requirements and local regulations. It's also a good idea to cross-reference their past performance and any relevant audits.
Key points
- Check SWMS and insurance certificates.
- Verify qualifications against project requirements.
- Cross-reference past performance.
Start by asking the subcontractor for their compliance documentation, including Safe Work Method Statements and any relevant licenses. Compare these documents with your project specs and local regulations. Keep a record of any discrepancies and follow up as needed to ensure compliance before they start on site.
