CONSTRUCTION SITE DEATHS LEAD TO NEW SAFETY PLAN. CONTACT A CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTION-WORK ACCIDENT LAWYER NOW.

After two fatal crane collapse incidents within months of each other, NY legislators are rushing to design a plan to improve safety for workers and residents. Construction-related accidents have claimed the lives of 15 people this year in New York City alone. In March, a construction site crane accident left seven people dead. A second crane collapsed from the 23rd floor of a construction site just last week, horrifically killing two construction workers. The new plan, a reaction to these fatalities, aims at improving the supervision of construction sites, amending contractor registration, and increasing fines for companies who violate existing laws.

Even with all of the safety regulations put in place by national organizations like OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration), construction injuries and deaths continue to happen. Experts state that NY lawmakers’ new plan for safety is a step in the right direction, but that the area Buildings Department needs a more serious overhaul to provide increased safety.
