Assessing and managing the risk

The most effective way to apply limited resources to due diligence is to ensure action is targeted at the areas of highest risk in our supply chain. The areas that are deemed to have the highest risk are those that include the following:

  • Complex employment relationships; a reliance on agency, outsourced or subcontracted workers.
  • Reliance on low skilled or unskilled labour.
  • High numbers of temporary, seasonal or agency workers.
  • Dangerous or physically demanding work.
