## Result

-   The contractor worker receives an email about the assigned task.

## What to do next

-   The contract worker responds to the tasks and completes them directly from these buttons in the email:
-   -   Upload documents​
-   View prerequisite training material​
-   Mark the task as complete​
-   When the contract worker completes all prerequisite tasks, the contractor coordinator can grant them access to the site. For more information, see [Grant site access to a contractor worker](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety-contractor-management/hs-grant-site-access-worker.md).
-   If there are any documents submitted by the contractor worker, the contractor coordinator can upload them to the worker's or contractor company's **Document** tab. For more information, see [Add a document to a contractor worker](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety-contractor-management/hs-add-document-contractor-worker.md).
