Contractor Safety QualificationContractor Safety Qualification Each contractor, prior to contractor selection; must
complete a Contractor Safety Qualification form. Form provides us with your safety background, safety
experience and safety performance
Contractors must provide all requested information regarding safety, insurance and injury experience.
The qualification criteria examines both active safety programs and the contractor’s safety and injury experience.
Fully approved Contractors will now be approved for one year, contingent upon satisfactory ongoing safety performance reviews.

Safety qualification is only one criterion used in the selection of contractors.
Colorado Springs Utilities Safety & Health Office should be consulted for special precautions or other strategies to further reduce the risk to Colorado Springs Utilities and Contractor employees, assets, and operations.
If incidents or safety deviations occur during the course of a contract, the Safety and Health office may require a review of the contractor prior to additional work being performed for Colorado Springs Utilities.
