1926.12 Rules of Construction.

(a) Each employer and employee shall be charged with the responsibilities and duties as required by the Act.

(b) Any two or more employers who have employees at one job site (such as prime contractors and subcontractors) may make their own arrangements with respect to obligations which might be more appropriately treated on a job site basis rather than individually. Thus, for example, the prime contractor and his subcontractors will provide all required first-aid or toilet facilities, thus relieving the subcontractors from the actual, but not any legal, responsibility (or, as the case may be, relieving the other subcontractors from this responsibility).
