Worker Alert: Fall Prevention

Since 2015 there have been 37 fatalities and 1,029 injuries resulting from worker falls – all of which were entirely preventable. Be aware of your surroundings, especially around edges, shafts, and floor openings. Never work near an edge, open shaft, or floor opening without proper fall protection. Obtain 40 hours of Site Safety Training, including 8 hours of Fall Prevention training when performing any construction work that includes fall hazards. Site Safety Training is required on construction projects with a Site Safety Manager, Site Safety Coordinator, or Construction Superintendent.

Beginning June 30, 2021, all applications, except Limited Alteration Applications (LAA), electrical, and elevator jobs, require a Property Ownership Certification form to proceed with a permit request in DOB NOW: Build. Click here to read full service update.
