DEKRA UK

Contractors play a critical role in high-risk industries like oil & gas, chemicals, manufacturing, and logistics. Yet too often, they’re treated as outsiders — excluded from safety systems, leadership engagement, and organisational learning.

In this session, DEKRA’s safety experts share how Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) principles, grounded in neuroscience, can transform contractor engagement, improve decision-making, and significantly reduce serious injuries and fatalities.

You’ll learn:

• How to fully embed contractors into your safety culture
• Why HOP fosters care, collaboration, and shared ownership across workforce boundaries
• Practical strategies to align governance, leadership, systems, and frontline realities
• Ways to design out error-likely conditions and strengthen human reliability

Move beyond tick-box compliance to true contractor safety partnerships — where third parties are trusted, integrated, and critical to a shared culture of safety.
