Both host employers and staffing agencies have roles in complying with workplace health and safety requirements and they share responsibility for ensuring worker safety and health.

Legally, both the host employer and the staffing agency are employers of the temporary worker.

Why Are Temp Workers At High Risk of Injury? New workers are at increased risk of injury.

Host employers don’t have the same commitment to temporary employees as do permanent ones.

Employer who bears the risk of the injury (temp agency) does not control safety and health investment.

Temporary Worker Initiative In all inspections, OSHA’s

inspectors ask about the presence of temp workers, the hazards to which they are exposed, and the training they have received.
