Living through an OSHA inspection BY Mike Fimea
The OSHA liability rule is fairly straightforward: An employer may be cited for violations only in areas to which its own employees had access. The rule was simple to interpret in the 1970s, Keller said, but today's work site is complicated by exceptions: joint employer and multiemployer work sites, multiple subcontractors and outsourcing.
'In general industry, companies often lease employees from temporary agencies,' he said.
'The workers may be paid by the temp agency, but the company controls the work environment. If the leased employee is exposed to a hazard or injured, OSHA may cite both the temporary agency and the (company) that leased the employee.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:27 AM :: reference link ::
