The short answer is that the owner of the equipment takes on the liability of the
equipment, according to NFPA 70E

If you have a large company and do not have qualified electrical workers to assess your contractors, hire a quality safety company to evaluate, audit and approve some contractors you can choose from. This is a good way to maintain safety in a plant, warehouse or any facility when you don’t have internal electrical safety expertise. Many of those hurt every year are contractors. Read More..
