In the industrial sector, a significant proportion of work is outsourced or subcontracted; examples include equipment maintenance, new works, construction or deconstruction projects, etc.
What are the best practices in agile partnering for reliable performance?
Why is this theme important?
he safety challenges associated with the use of contractors are the subject of numerous provisions at all stages of the selection, contracting and evaluation of services.
These provisions cover both health and safety in the workplace, and industrial safety, which are generally covered by the ‘quality’ section of tender documents. They aim to both ensure high safety standards and provide legal cover in the event of an accident.
The same subcontractor can be faced with contractors who have different requirements, both in terms of form and content. The result is a heavy administrative burden for both partners.

There are four key stages:
- The state of the art
- The international academic seminar
- Comparison with industrial practices
- The industrial seminar
