Prime Contractor General Information Form

APPENDIX “D”

This document does not replace the Workers Compensation Act or OH&S Regulations

Sections 118 of the Workers Compensation Act: “multiple employer workplace” means a workplace where workers of 2 or more employers are working at the same time. Note:

• Workers of one employer do not necessarily have to come in contact with workers of the other • They do not have to be in the same place at the same time • Workers’ activities could affect the health and safety of another employer’s workers. This is true

even if the workers at the workplace are workers of the owner or contractor. “prime contractor” means, in relation to a multiple-employer workplace,

(a) the directing contractor, employer or other person who enters into a written agreement with the owner of that workplace to be the prime contractor for the purposes of this Part, or

(b) if there is no agreement referred to in paragraph (a), the owner of the workplace. The prime contractor of a multiple employer workplace must

• Ensure that the activities of all employers, workers (including the owners), and other persons at the workplace relating to occupational health and safety are coordinated and

• Do everything that is reasonably practicable to establish and maintain a system or process that will ensure compliance with the WC Act and the Regulation in respect of the workplace

Each employer of workers at a multiple employer workplace must give to the prime contractor the name of the person the employer has designated to supervise the employer’s workers at that workplace. For the sake of clarity, the following apply in determining whether there is a “multiple-employer” workplace:

• Two or more adjacent workplaces do not constitute a “multiple-employer workplace”, even though the activities at one place might affect the health and safety of workers at an adjacent workplace.

• In contrast, the workplace will generally be a “multiple-employer” workplace in the following situations:

-Workers of different employers are present at the same time working on the different projects; or -Workers of different employers are present at the same time working on the same project.

In either case the workplace would be considered a “multiple-employer” worksite.

Prime Contractor General Information Form

Page 2 of 3

• In determining whether “workers of 2 or more employers are working at the same time”, the phrase “at the same time” will be given such fair, large and liberal construction as may best attain the objectives of section 118. “At the same time” does not mean that, at any precise point in time, there are workers of 2 or more employers present in the workplace. Rather, it means that, over an appropriate interval, there are workers of 2 or more employers present in the workplace, whether or not the 2 or more groups of workers are actually present together in the workplace at any precise point in time at all. The duration of the interval of time to be considered will depend upon the circumstances of the individual workplace.

• Whether the workers of the one employer come into actual contact with the workers of the other employer does not generally affect the determination of whether the workplace is a “multiple-employer workplace”. An employer, the employer’s workers and their activities could well affect the health and safety of another employer’s workers who come into the workplace later in the day or on another day, even though there may be no actual contact between the two groups of workers. However, the degree to which the activities of the first employer and its workers affect the health and safety of the second employer’s workers will generally affect the determination of the responsibilities of the prime contractor and of the two employers under Part 3 and the regulations

• Virtually all workplaces will be visited by workers of other employers. For

example, workers may deliver or pick up mail, goods or materials or enter to inspect the premises. Short term visits of this type, even if regular, do not make the workplace a “multiple-employer workplace” for purposes of section 118(1).

The written agreement referred to in section 118(1) of the Act must be made available within a reasonable time if requested by a Board officer. There can be only one "prime contractor" at a workplace at any point in time. If an owner enters into more than one agreement purporting to create a "prime contractor" for the same period of time, the owner is considered to be the prime contractor.

(i) appoint a qualified coordinator for the purpose of ensuring the coordination of health and safety activities for the location, and

(ii) provide up-to-date information as specified in subsection (4), readily available on site, and

(b) each employer must give the coordinator appointed under paragraph (a)(i) the name of a qualified person designated to be responsible for that employer's site health and safety activities.
