Compliance Consulting for NYC Construction Regulations
The team at Total Safety Consulting recognizes that understanding building code and OSHA regulations can be confusing and frustrating. Our professionals at TSC are here to help you comply with NYC DOB and OSHA standards. We are local code experts that can help your construction site remain compliant.
NYC DOB Codes
In NYC, it seems that everywhere you look there is a building under construction. To regulate the construction and demolition of buildings, the NYC Department of Buildings has set forth codes that must be followed to promote safety on the jobsite. The latest NYC Construction codes set forth the standards for construction sites.
Chapter 33 of the NYC building code sets the standards for safety during construction or demolition projects. Included in this code are regulations that promote the safety of workers and the general public during construction projects. Some of the standards include:
- Requirements for site safety managers and coordinators
- Necessary safeguards and safety measures
- Inspection criteria for structures, operations, and equipment
- Required documentation
- Protections for pedestrians and adjoining buildings
The team of professionals at Total Safety Consulting knows the codes and standards put forth by the NYC DOB. We can help you by providing safety professionals for your jobsite that will monitor compliance. TSC can also help you draft a site safety plan for your jobsite that will comply with NYC DOB regulations.
Local Law 196
Local Law 196 of 2017 requires workers at jobsites requiring a Site Safety Plan (which includes sites that must designate a Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator or Site Safety Manager) to receive 30 hours of site safety training by December 1, 2019 and an additional 10 hours of training by September 1, 2020.
Supervisors will need 62 hours of training by the December 1, 2019 deadline. Workers seeking a Limited Site Safety Training Card may defer their 8-Hour Chapter 33 (Site Safety Manager Renewal) training until after December 1, 2019 and take 4-Hours of General Electives and 4-Hours of Specialized Electives instead.
