What is non delegable duties?

Non delegable duties are legal responsibilities that cannot be transferred or assigned to other parties. These duties are often associated with special relationships, such as the employer-employee relationship, or professional relationships, such as the doctor-patient relationship. Non delegable duties may include duties to provide a safe working environment, to ensure the proper care and supervision of children or vulnerable adults, or to meet certain professional standards of care. These duties cannot be avoided by delegating them to a third party, and any failure to fulfill them can result in legal liability for the party that was responsible for them.
