Who does the Act apply to?
Loaned employees
Everyone in a workplace is entitled to feel and remain safe.
Sometimes one employer may borrow an employee from another employer. For example, this can often occur on construction sites where sub-contractors help each other out in order to keep the job moving as quickly as possible.
The employer who is loaning their employee to another employer has to make sure that:
- the employee is capable of doing the work safely
- the other employer is aware of their health and safety duties.
Once the employee is doing the work, the other employer must treat him or her as if they were their own employee and keep them free from harm.
