4133 A general contractor is responsible for worksite safety by virtue of its role as such, so injury to a subcontractor's employee that resulted from an improperly covered hole cut in a roof by a subcontractor resulted in part from the general contractor's negligence, and the general contractor is not entitled to indemnity from either of the subcontractors under contracts calling for indemnity from the subcontractors but not specifically requiring indemnity for injuries caused by the general contractor's negligence.CitationMCCRARY CONSTRUCTION v METAL DECK SPECIALISTS (Hole in the Roof) 133 CA4 1528 [See: Rossmoor v Pylon 13 C3 622]
