Will our company be liable for accidents of workers who are sponsored by another company?
Q: Hi, I am running a startup company in a home renovation business. We have some laborers coming on a daily basis and working on the site and they are paid on a daily basis. Our company is not their sponsor and we simply hire them for a few days to do some labor work. The question is during the work (e.g., while drilling or demolishing) if something happens to one of these laborers, will we be responsible? given they are not directly employed or sponsored by us, should they have their own health insurance while working? How can we protect the business? Questions & Answers
