Certified Staffing Profesional Practice Exam

Staffing firms are generally not responsible for determining employee safety at worksites because the primary obligation for ensuring workplace safety rests with the client organization that hosts the employees. Clients are responsible for maintaining a safe work environment in compliance with occupational health and safety regulations. While staffing firms may have a role in providing basic safety training or ensuring their workers understand specific safety protocols related to the job, the ultimate accountability for safety lies with the employer at the worksite.

This differentiation is important in staffing arrangements, as it delineates the responsibilities of the staffing firm from those of the client. It reflects the concept that the employer-employee relationship remains intact even when the workers are provided by a staffing agency, meaning the client still has the due diligence and legal obligations associated with safety measures and compliance in the workplace. By clarifying these roles, both parties can better manage their responsibilities and ensure a safer working environment.
