Understanding the Multi-Employer Worksite (Part 6) - Conclusion
Miller & Martin PLLC Blog | July 10, 2018
Parting thoughts:
- All employers on a multi-employer worksite have a duty to protect their own employees and may have additional duties to protect the employees of other employers.
- Any hazard that violates an OSHA standard can lead to the citation of multiple employers across the multi-employer worksite.
- Employers can often fall into more than one category of creating, correcting, controlling or exposing employers.
- The ability to present OSHA with a compelling case as to why an employer on a multi-employer worksite begins prior to the signing of the contract to perform work on the multi-employer worksite and is complete prior to the OSHA inspection of the multi-employer worksite.
- Waiting to implement reasonable health and safety policies training and implementation until after an employee is exposed to a hazard that violates an OSHA regulation and OSHA is inspecting the multi-employer worksite is too late.
