WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY?

摘要

OSHA's multi-employer citation policy has evolved in response to serious workplace accidents involving multiple-employer worksites. It first arose in the construction industry, where the presence of several contractors/subcontractors on one site often made it difficult to determine exactly who was responsible for safety violations. Often, general contractors and subcontractors simply failed to coordinate their responsibilities for worker safety. In response, OSHA began citing host employers for safety violations committed by independent contractors and their employees.
