SafetyQuestion 1249 of 1605
A subcontractor claims it does not need a Code of Safe Practices because the general contractor has one. Under Title 8, this is:
a.Correct — one code covers the whole site
b.Irrelevant, because the code is only advisory
c.Incorrect — the subcontractor must have a Code of Safe Practices relating to its own operations
d.Correct only if the sub has fewer than 5 workers
Explanation
T8 §1509 applies to each construction employer. The Code of Safe Practices must relate to the employer's own operations, so a subcontractor cannot rely solely on the GC's code.
