The Principal Contractor Licence is a highly sought-after accreditation in the rail industry. It demonstrates a company’s ability to manage and coordinate works on the rail infrastructure safely and efficiently. The process of assessment and award for this licence is rigorous, as the safety of workers and the general public is of utmost importance in the rail industry.
Evaluation of Management Systems
The assessment process for a Principal Contractor Licence involves thoroughly evaluating the company’s management systems, including its health and safety policies and procedures, environmental management systems, and quality management systems. The company must also demonstrate their ability to effectively plan and coordinate works on the rail infrastructure, including managing sub-contractors and implementing effective communication and information systems.
Once a company has successfully passed the assessment process, they are awarded the Principal Contractor Licence, which allows them to take on the role of principal contractor for rail infrastructure projects.
