Information for Contractors

Important Contractor Update Notice 

Due to safety changes in relation to Laboratory Access, can we ask that all contractors, who are due to carry out work within a laboratory space, check with their Estates contact, that access has been booked for them.

Can we also take this opportunity to thank all contractors for their continued support and adherence with our on campus COVID-19 secure measures.

Welcome to the Information for Contractors website

The University of Exeter is committed to providing a safe working environment. This commitment extends to all Estate Services contractors, subcontractors and suppliers of services to our campuses and properties. Our aim is for everyone to go home healthy, nothing is so urgent, or important, that we cannot take time to do it safely.

The Contractor Online Induction has been developed to outline the requirements of contractors undertaking works (construction, maintenance, etc.) for, or on behalf of the University.

As a prior condition to commencing any work within any one of our campuses, contractors are required to complete the Contractor Online Induction (please follow the steps below) to ensure an understanding of the Estate Services management systems and to provide specific rules for working on site. 

By completing this induction, it is intended that all Estate Services contractors working within the University will be able to play their role in maintaining a safe workplace for all.

Any failure to follow these rules can result in:

  • you or others around you being harmed or suffering injuries
  • your immediate removal from the site
  • your company’s removal from the University
  • your company’s removal of the University’s Contractors List, and
  • you and/or your company being fined and/or prosecuted by WorkCover.
