Temporary Worker Safety - a Shared Responsibility

Details

• Corporate Authors:
  Michigan Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (Project) (MIFACE)
• Description:
  From 2001 to 2012, 54 Michigan temporary or contract workers have died on the job. The most common cause of death was struck by an object (14 deaths). Motor vehicles (11 deaths), falls (8 deaths) and machines (6 deaths) were the other major causes of death. Most of the temporary worker deaths occurred in Construction (11 deaths - 5 due to falls). Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation had 9 deaths. Agriculture and Manufacturing had 8 deaths each. Worker ages ranged from 15 to 76 years of age; 7 workers were 21 years of age or younger. MIFACE has found a lack of health and safety training to be an issue in many of these deaths. Both the placement agency and the host employer are responsible to provide health and safety training to the temporary worker. Description provided by NIOSH
