Does OSHA’s shared responsibility for temporary workers decide which company’s insurance responds?
No. OSHA’s temporary-worker guidance concerns workplace safety responsibilities and says those responsibilities depend on the facts and control. It does not determine which policy responds to an injury or contract claim.
Give the broker the staffing agreement, host-site duties, supervision and training arrangements. Ask each party to review the actual workers’ compensation, liability and contractual documents that apply to its role.4
Keep safety coordination and insurance allocation as separate questions. The reviewed OSHA source does not interpret policy wording or decide a specific worker’s legal status.4
