Topic Multi-Employer Worksite Safety: Balancing Compliance and Culture

Modern construction practices have muddied the waters for safety management. Questions about who is responsible for what employees at a project site are at the crux of many regulatory and legal inquiries and outcomes today. This session will discuss roles, responsibilities, and actions in these scenarios, the OSHA and MIOSHA process for sorting through ownership of safety on multi-employer work sites, and best practices from industry, academic research, and established case law.
