Contractors and temporary workers are disproportionately represented in fatality and severe injury cases, and host employers and general contractors often find themselves facing legal contractual and tort liability. OSHA and MSHA have increased their emphasis programs on dual liability, with penalties reaching as high as $270,903 per violation. The increased use of third-party workers, via subcontractors, day laborers and temporary workers from staffing agencies raise safety and health management challenges.
Join us on September 22 for a free webinar with Adele Abrams. Her presentation will outline the key legal and OSHA/MSHA exposures and how to implement best practices on contractor prequalification, worker training and program coordination, to mitigate liability and improve overall worksite safety.
You’ll learn:
- The latest enforcement position by OSHA and MSHA for violations involving contractors under the agencies’ multi-employer worksite doctrines
- Methods of prequalifying contractors and vetting staffing agencies effectively
- Which program areas require coordination between multiple employers sharing a worksite, including inspections and training
- Distinctions between contractors, temporary workers and day laborers from a legal perspective and the DOL position on misclassification of workers
- The latest on the DOL/NLRB “joint employer” test factors and how these impact contractor relations
