1098 REVIEW GRANTED One who employs an independent contractor to perform work involving a peculiar risk of harm if safety precautions are not taken is not liable to an employee of the independent contractor for failing to require the independent contractor to take such safety precautions; such liability is vicarious, and is therefore prevented by Privette.
