Temp Employee Safety Requirements: Protect Workers & Minimize Legal Risks

Price: $ + applicable taxes

Summary

As employment needs are rapidly changing in the current workforce, temporary workers are a big help with filling in the gaps and keeping business running.

In some cases, temps are used for some of the worksite’s most hazardous tasks.

But if a temp worker gets hurt, who is ultimately responsible - the staffing agency or the host employer?

OSHA recognizes the need to protect temporary employees and established the Temporary Worker Initiative. And, under the new administration, the proper classification of workers and OHS protections will have greater emphasis.
