OSHA issues temporary worker bulletin on lockout/tagout

摘要

As part of its Temporary Worker Initiative, OSHA has provided guidance on the responsibilities of temporary-worker staffing agencies and host employers to protect temporary workers under the federal Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) standard (29 CFR 1910.147).OSHA’s guidance bulletin emphasizes that the temp agency and the host agency are joint employers, and both are responsible for ensuring that temporary employees are properly protected against the sudden release of stored energy.
