All Property and Facilities Division (P&F) contractors and consultants working for UQ or on UQ sites must:
- meet legislative requirements
- follow regulatory health, safety and environmental obligations
- comply with UQ policies and procedures
- complete the P&F induction
- have the relevant licenses and insurances.
P&F is solely responsible for engaging contractors to undertake maintenance work relating to UQ building fabric, structure and services. Schools and faculties should not act as a principal contractor or engage contractors to undertake building-related work.
Induction
All contractors must complete the induction and provide copies of:
- their specific licences
- workers compensation
- third-party liability insurance.
If you employ staff who will be working with you, they must also complete the online induction.
You must complete the re-induction every year to remain a registered contractor at UQ. If the re-induction is not completed or the required forms are not forwarded to UQ, you will be removed from the contractor register.
