Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules impose safety guidelines that must be followed by the various parties involved in a construction project. In addition to the employer, these parties may include:

If the negligence of a non-employer third party caused the construction accident, it may be possible for the injured party to bring a personal injury lawsuit against that party, despite the otherwise applicable workers’ compensation laws.
