Description

How OSHA’s Multi-Employer Citation Policy Affects Third-Party Lawsuits presented by Steve Hawkins, FDR Safety.

Construction sites are complex environments where a single safety violation can trigger OSHA citations for multiple companies, regardless of whose employees were actually exposed. Steve will break down the Multi-Employer Citation Policy (CPL 2-00.124) to show how inspectors identify "Creating," "Exposing," "Correcting," and "Controlling" employers during a site visit. He will also explain why and how these regulatory findings and this policy in general are often used as evidence of negligence in third-party lawsuits and how to document "reasonable care" to defend your business. Join us to gain practical strategies for managing risk and protecting your project from the cascading legal and financial costs of a site injury, even when it’s not your employee who was injured
