Are we responsible for training temp workers we bring onsite? What about if it’s just for a day or two? Can the training be shorter than the usual training?

OSHA says that in most cases the host employer would be responsible for providing site-specific training, such as training on specific chemicals, how to operate specific machinery, etc. However, the staffing agency may provide generic training, such as an overview of the OSHA standards. OSHA expects training of temp workers to be comparable to that of regular workers; it must provide the necessary information to allow the worker to work safely.
