CANCELLED: New ‘Joint Employer’ Rule: Employer Safety Requirements & Liabilities
Please note, this event has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The US Dept. of Labor (DOL) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) have issued new rules that change the definition of “joint employer” substantially. This will impact OSHA activities at many affected companies, from franchises to subsidiaries, and when looking at staffing agency/host employer relations.
In this 60-minute program we’ll take a close look at the new meaning of “joint employers” and what this means to employers’ safety practices, responsibilities and liabilities. Join us to discover:
- Industries most impacted by the rule changes, and how to minimize legal exposure
- How DOL’s 2020 rule aligns with OSHA’s Multi-Employer Worksite Doctrine
- Keys to developing compliant safety, reporting and training policies
- Ensuring staffing agencies and subcontractors meet OSHA compliance requirements
- Which workers now classify as independent contractors for purposes of the NLRB and OSHA
- What franchises need to consider when developing corporate safety and health management programs
