General Contractors and the Multi-Employer Dilemma 
Sponsored by:
|
In April 2007, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Committee rendered a decision to reject the current Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) policy holding general contractors on a construction site responsible for OSHA violations of its subcontractors.
What does this mean for the construction industry? Will this decision further impact general contractors outside of the construction industry? Will OSHA appeal the decision? Join us for a 2-hour audio conference as we discuss the implications of this decision, as well as the impact it will have on your company. At the end of the 90-minute presentation you will have the opportunity to ask questions specific to your situation.

Learning Objectives:
- Define the term “controlling employer”
- Discuss the legal aspects of the new ruling and how it will impact the construction industry
- Identify steps needed to ensure your organization is in compliance
