Training at Multi-Employer Worksites
If the employer becomes aware of new exposure risks for their employees at a multi-employer worksite, the training requirements still apply. Employees must be trained for hazards they haven't previously been educated on.
Training Temporary Employees
Training temporary employees is a responsibility that is shared between the host employer and temporary agency.
- Host Employer: The host employer is responsible for training on the company's specific HCS program requirements including labeling, chemical hazards and safe work procedures in their workplace.
- Temporary Agency: The temporary agency, in turn, maintains a continuing relationship with its employees and would be expected to inform employees of the general requirements of the HCS standard.
Contracts between the temporary agency and the host-employer should be examined to determine if they clearly outline the training responsibilities of both parties, in order to ensure the employers have complied with all requirements of the regulation.
