You will be better off 1099ing them,and require that they show proof of insurance.
If you are a small operation,carrying 3-5 million in liability insurance will bankrupt you.
Even with contract employees you better make sure you have all the necessary safety equipment,SOPs for the equipment, hazmat stickers,ROPS,seatbelts,PTO shielding,fire extinguishers,eye wash stations,dust masks etc.Plus whatever else your insurance company recommends.Because in the event of an accident even due to the contractors stupidity you are still liable.It can very easily cost you $50K in legal fees to prove you did nothing wrong in the event of a lawsuit.
