BRC - Packaging Materials

Hi, I was looking for some help in understanding what is considered a supplier of a service. Is there a certain criteria that differentiate this from a visitor? Do these people not need to follow standard visitor policy?

 

Service suppliers that I have identified so far include laundry, pest control, fire alarm system maintenance, fire sprinkler system maintenance, air compressor maintenance, site security system maintenance, consultant, forklift maintenance, product transport/distribution.

I wasn't sure if these are all considered suppliers of services that should be included or if some of them could be simply "visitors".

Would it be acceptable (and practical) to use a generic agreement form for all of the suppliers of services? Something that can be filled out and attached with the visitor policy?

should be ok, but please remember about different requirements , for example  waste carrier should be registered with Environmental agency and should hold waste carrier licence (UK, not sure about Canada), pest control should be a member of BPCA (British Pest control association) / not sure about Canada
