“[U]nder the general rule, an employer is not hable for the negligence of its independent contractors.” (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Machado v. Hartford, 292 Conn. 364, 371, 972 A.2d 724 (2009). There are, however, several exceptions to this general rule, including “when the [employer] retains control of the premises or supervises the [independent contractor’s] work, when the work is inherently dangerous, or when the [employer] has a nondelegable duty to take safety precautions imposed by statute or regulation.” Pelletier v. Sordoni/Skanska Construction Co., 264 Conn. 509, 528, 825 A.2d 72 (2003).
