OSHA Enforcement for Employers Using Temporary Workers

This workplace safety compliance training will explain OSHA’s initiative to protect temporary workers. It will also provide you the tools to ensure compliance with OSHA requirements when employing temporary workers.

Why Should You Attend:

Under this initiative, OSHA has instructed its Compliance Officers to ask employers during all inspections about whether temporary workers are employed at the work site. If they are, the inspection will focus on the compliance issues presented by using temporary workers. It is therefore important to understand the issues underlying the use of temporary workers and how to stay out of trouble.

This webinar will address OSHA’s initiative focusing on safety and health compliance for temporary service workers. The instructor will explain OSHA’s enforcement initiative; explain the underlying legal principles to determine whether a temporary worker will be considered an employee of the host employer, and offer practical advice about how to ensure compliance.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• Explanation of OSHA’s Initiative on Temporary Workers

• Practical advice on how to comply with OSHA requirements when temporary employees are being used
