VerifiedHi and thank you for returning. In your contracts is there any clause about keeping information about operation of the contract confidential?
If there is such a clause then it may be a breach of contract to talk to other contractors, but there does come a point where the need to prevent work accidents would overcome such a confidentiality clause. I don't see any problem with having informal discussions about work and safety issues in a general way, but if you are addressing specific policies imposed by the lines company, you may need to be careful

From Trinicor Eng. We have a contract with TEAK. But TEAK's
I'm Lizelle from Trinicor Eng. We have a contract with TEAK. But TEAK's contract does not have any protection for the Subcontractor, just for the Contractor. This is not fair to Trinicor, and when Trinicor signed that contract Trinicor was forced to do so. Because TEAK did not give Trinicor time to read, TEAK was demanding that Trinicor sign the contract so that Trinicor may start with the work. At that time Trinicor was a start-up company. What can Trinicor do … read more
