OHS VIOLATIONS OF CONTRACTORS

Question: Is an employer liable for a contractor’s safety violations?

Answer: This is question is complicated and the answer depends on the kind of work involved, where it takes place and who controls it. As a general rule, some provinces allow employers to assign liability for OHS compliance to a “constructor” or “principal contractor” under certain conditions.
