On big jobs I've been on you're usually (always?) forced to work under the main contractor's H&S (hence all the pointless PPE etc), even though as the subcontractor you've been forced to provide all you're own H&S documentation - that usually just gets completely ignored. On that basis if I was involved in anything legal resulting from an H&S issue I'd presume it would devolve on the main contractor since it's their H&S that's being enforced and always takes precedence? :face-thinks:
- although did a job couple of years back where we settled on separate H&S for convenience since theirs had a depth limit of 600mm - so we hand-dug a lot of deeper stuff for them under our own H&S which follows the HSE rules (and most of the archaeology was below 600mm), rare outbreak of common sense that helped everyone!
