I have a guy that does work on all my homes. Hes not a contractor but
he hires his guys to help him and they fix up my homes that I
purchase. I need something stating that I am not responsible for his
crew if they get hurt or something and that I have no legal ties to
this so that if anything ever happened I couldn't get sued. I need to
know the name of the contract I need as well as a direct link to it. 
Thanks!

Does this man who is hiring workers have Workers' Compensation or
other insurance on them?

I don't know. I was just going to get him so sign something rather he
did or not making it HIS responsibility for HIS workers.

This might be of interest:

yes its of interest but I still need the contract. Thanks.

What you need to protect yourself is to require him to carry workman's
comp insurance and for you to carry insurance also.  No matter what a
contract says the workers can sue you directly - they are not a party
to the contract between you and your contractor friend.

The dude above is correct.
You can disclaim your liability to any third persons.  You can have
the guy sign an indemnification agreement. (i.e. if anything happens
and you get suited, he will cover your losses and costs), but that is
only good to the extent to which he is able to pay.  If you are sued
for $1 million and he does not have that much, you are still on the
hook.

You better bet is to try to get the workers (though this wont be easy
and you will have to comepnsate them accordingly) to sign an agreement
freeing you of liability.  Though it will have language that you are
still responsible for gross negligence, recklessness or intentional
acts. ( so as to not be unconscionable)
