Episode Summary: Contractor Liability and Job Site Safety
In this episode, Joe and Jen dive into the complexities of contractor liability and job site safety, focusing on the responsibilities and legal implications for both contractors and host employers. The discussion highlights the often misunderstood aspects of liability beyond just having insurance, emphasizing the importance of clear roles and responsibilities when things go wrong on a job site.

These programs can give a false sense of security, as the actual safety measures may not align with what's documented.
