025: Multi-Employer and Contractor Safety

Powered by iReportSource

Increasingly, companies are using contract or temporary workers to perform work. This work ranges from maintenance and construction to security and even production-related tasks. It’s easy to pass off responsibility for contractor safety to someone else — particularly the contractor.

Under the OSHA multi-employer worksite policy, citations may be issued to employers using temporary employees. 

OSHA’s multi-employer worksite citation policy states that on multi-employer worksites (in all industry sectors), more than one employer may be citable for a hazardous condition that violates an OSHA standard. A two-step process must be followed in determining whether more than one employer is to be cited. Listen to learn all about it and better protect your company and your contractors.
