When You're On The Hook: Subcontractors, Safety & Liability

Description

When You're on the Hook: Subcontractors, Safety, and Liability Class

When you hire subcontractors or manage employees on the jobsite, there’s a lot at stake — and sometimes, liability ends up where you least expect it.

This awareness class breaks down three key areas every employer should be aware of:

Hiring Subcontractors & the 7-Part Test – How workers’ comp liability can shift based on your working relationship.
Stute Liability – When a general contractor can be cited for safety violations caused by a subcontractor.
Unpreventable Employee Misconduct (UEM) – When trained employees ignore safety rules and the employer is still held responsible.

Whether you're a business owner, contractor, or safety lead, this class will help you better understand your potential exposure and how to reduce risk — without giving legal advice. Knowledge is your best protection.

Training is held at Central Washington Homebuilders Association and will be taught by Bob White, ROII Safety Director. Please register directly on ROII website: https://www.biaw.com/classes/when-youre-on-the-hook-subcontractors-safety-and-liability-5661
