NYC Scaffold Safety Laws Signed - By Katherine Torres, Occupational Hazards
The bills require all suspended scaffolds – the type that hang from the roofs of tall buildings by ropes or other means, not the ones anchored on the ground – to be inspected daily and that a record of the inspection at the job site be made available to New York City Department of Buildings personnel.
==========
In addition, the bills authorize the Buildings Department to issue a stop-work order, effective for a 2-day minimum period, if employers don't notify the department if the rigger is unlicensed, if the workers lack certificates of fitness or if the rigger has not filed proper insurance or bonding documents.------------------------------------------- posted 5:52 AM :: reference link ::
