Primarily relying on contractual clauses that mandate suppliers to comply with all relevant OHS regulations and conducting infrequent, unannounced inspections to verify compliance, focusing on suppliers with the highest volume of transactions.
Establishing a tiered system where suppliers are categorized based on their size and location, applying minimal OHS requirements to small-scale suppliers in developing countries and focusing primarily on larger, domestic suppliers with stricter OHS regulations.
