A well-drafted subcontractor contract that includes indemnity and hold harmless clauses ensures that responsibility falls where it belongs—on the party who caused the issue. Without these protections, general contractors can be held liable for accidents, damages, or mistakes beyond their control. These clauses safeguard both the project and the contractor’s reputation, keeping operations fair, clear, and legally secure.

OSHA recordables are more than a compliance benchmark—they are a business metric that directly impacts insurability, client eligibility, and overall safety culture. Clients in manufacturing, construction, logistics, and oil & gas frequently disqualify contractors or vendors with high OSHA recordables. Employers who proactively implement incident management tools are better positioned to win contracts, manage costs, and keep employees safe.
