If a company from outside carries out construction work at our company and an accident occurs, whose responsibility is it?

I don’t know if this situation occurs in other organizations as well – when a company from outside carries out construction work on our premises, who is responsible in the event of an accident? Is the contract valid in such cases? Because during inspections, other units never follow instructions, and no one notices any safety hazards
I didn’t understand your question. What is the relationship between what you call the “external entity” and the “internal entity”? Is the internal entity the owner or the general contractor? It is still the \"construction unit\" that operates in parallel with \"external entities\"; in the case of the former, as the owner and general contractor, they are certainly required to assume joint management responsibilities ； Regarding the latter, when an \"external (construction) unit\" enters the area of the \"local (construction) unit\" to carry out construction work, both parties should sign a \"cross-operation agreement\". In the event of an accident, a factual and specific assessment is also required. If the “relevant entity” is completely unresponsible, it certainly does not need to assume any liability.
