Training at Multi-Employer Worksites
The training requirements also apply if the employer becomes aware via the multi-employer worksite provision of exposures of his/her employees to hazards for which they have not been previously trained.
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 HCS program including specific 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 set out the training responsibilities of both parties, in order to ensure that the employers have complied with all requirements of the regulation.
