The link/ article below mentions some interesting trends about work place safety. Specifically, the article highlights that companies are using temporary workers to mitigate or negate their responsibility to provide a safe work place for ALL workers.
While the article unfortunately paints the staffing industry in some unfavorable light (which I take strong issue with) it does make some good points about how staffing companies really need to know their clients before placing workers at their facilities

Please know that when you work with a quality PEO, they can provide expert staff and guidance to help ensure that your clients are following the best practices in safety management.
All the best
