We Protect Construction Workers

The state of New York has a special subsection of our labor laws known as §240. Construction workers know it as the New York scaffold law. Under this law, general contractors and property owners may be held liable for financial damages for fall injuries to construction workers on their site, if it can be shown that the scaffolding or ladder was unsafe or the ground not properly prepared for a raised work platform.

Construction Site Fall And Scaffolding Injuries At The Top Of The List

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), injuries from fall is at the top of the list for construction workers throughout all New York City boroughs and Long Island. In many cases, the fall could have been prevented or the injury avoided if all safety precautions were in place on the work site.
