Subcontractor Vetting Checklist

The Subcontractor Vetting Checklist Generator produces a tailored checklist for vetting a subcontractor against the framework you work to. Choose the accreditation your process needs to satisfy, CHAS, SSIP, Constructionline or ISO, and select the subcontractor’s trade. The tool generates a checklist covering the documents and checks that framework expects, adjusted for the trade, ready to print or use on screen during induction.

It is aimed at UK main contractors and QHSE managers who want a repeatable vetting process rather than a different ad hoc list each time. The checklist includes the core items, insurance, health and safety policy, risk assessments and CSCS cards, and adds trade-specific requirements such as specialist certifications and the right CSCS card types. Using the same checklist for every subcontractor keeps your vetting consistent and gives you a record of what was checked. The generator is free and needs no account. To store the completed checks and the evidence behind them, ComplianceVault keeps it all in one place.
