Many fatal incidents have occurred where temporary workers were not provided the training necessary to do their job safely. When a staffing agency supplies temporary workers to a business, the staffing agency and the staffing agency's client (host employer) are both employers of those workers. The staffing agency and the host employer share the responsibility for training temporary workers. Training must be completed before the worker begins work on a project and the training must be in a language and vocabulary the worker understands. In most cases, the host employer is responsible for site-specific training and the staffing agency is responsible for generic safety and health training. The goal is to ensure that workers know how to do their work safely, can identify hazards, and understand control and protective measures. Adblock test (Why?)
