Contractors are hired to perform services on worksites where a variety of hazards may be present. The hiring company shares some of the responsibility for the safety of the contractor. Often, jobs require contractors to work alongside the hiring company, and the safety of each impacts the other. Understanding contractor safety and acknowledging the benefit for both parties is important in providing a safe and healthful workplace. In this course, you will learn about different classifications of employers and their responsibilities to ensure a safe worksite.
