Today’s business landscape continues to demonstrate the need for companies to extend their labor strategy through an extended network of contractors, subcontractors and temporary labor within their supply chain. While leveraging the specialties and benefits of those within the contract management community, it is as important as ever for today’s Health & Safety Leaders to understand the myriad of risk multipliers within their work systems.
