Explain the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) policy on safety compliance when two or more companies are working at the same facility, such as a subcontractor working for a manufacturing company. If there is a violation of an OSHA regulation, who must correct the situation and pay the assessed penalty? What role does the Health and Safety professional at the manufacturing facility play in providing safety oversight? What role does the purchasing department play in providing safety oversight? Defend your observations and conclusions with at least 2 peer reviewed articles. OSHA published a policy on “Multi Employer Worksites” in 1999.**
