There are some exceptions to this rule, including: The main contractor had actual knowledge that the sub-contractor's work had been done in a foreseeably dangerous way and condoned it.
A subcontractor will carry out duties on behalf of a contractor - who is responsible for their health, safety, and actions - and might be an individual or an organisation. However, the employees of a contractor are not considered subcontractors, they must be separate altogether.
