CPL 02-00-124 - Multi-Employer Citation Policy

This directive describes the existing policy for issuing citations on multi-employer worksites and includes detailed guidance, including examples explaining when citations should and should not be issued to exposing, creating, correcting, and controlling employers. On multi-employer worksites (in all industry sectors), more than one employer may be citable for a hazardous condition that violates an OSHA standard. A two-step process is followed in determining whether more than one employer is to be cited.

Also reference the Field Operations Manual  (In particular, Chapter 2 - Compliance Programming and Chapter 3 - Inspection Procedures) for more information. Additional resources and information can be found on the safety and health topic page for Multi-Employer Worksites.
