VPPPA 2014: Michaels Unveils New Publication on Temp-Worker Safety
OSHA chief David Michaels urged VPPPA attendees “to be the champions of these recommended practices.”
Temporary workers are entitled to the same training and protection as full-time employees, OSHA Administrator David Michaels said during the opening general session of the 2014 National VPPPA Conference in National Harbor, Md.
That’s the theme of a new publication that OSHA and NIOSH unveiled Tuesday. The publication emphasizes that staffing agencies and their clients – “host employers” – are jointly responsible for providing safe and healthy working conditions for temporary employees.
