"Understanding OSHA’s Multi-Employer Worksite Doctrine and the Unforeseeable Employee Misconduct Defense" Webinar

Thursday, April 28, 2022

3:00 pm - 4:00 PM ET

Via Zoom

With construction booming, many roofing contractors find themselves struggling to provide enough labor at each project. As a result, more and more roofing contractors are engaging subcontractors to help with the current work load. Subcontracting work to a subcontractor, however, does not absolve the roofing contractor of responsibility for safety under OSHA, even in a situation where all of the work is performed by a subcontractor. OSHA can issue a citation to the controlling employer, the correcting employer, and the creating employer, in addition to the exposing employer. We will discuss OSHA’s multi-employer worksite doctrine, and we will also be sure to discuss the duties required of each type of employer on a multi-employer worksite. We will also address the unforeseeable employee misconduct defense to an OSHA citation, for when the subcontractor is cited as the exposing employer.

The webinar is free for all GARCA members and $100 for non-members.
