For Clients

Clients seek out temporary labour or seasonal work through a staffing agency to help reduce costs to their company and maintain a high volume of work.

The staffing agency then sends the employees to the client’s worksite to aid them with their goals while fulfilling the role of Human Resources for the temporary staff.

Asking these questions gives an idea of what hazards there are to help prepare for the work environment. We’ll be looking at the top four environmental hazards.
