Construction continues to be one of the most dangerous types of work in New York City. According to the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries Summary, workers in construction suffered the most number of fatal injuries of any industry in the private sector in 2009. About half of all fatal work-related falling accidents, for example, occur on construction sites. Defective scaffolding, dangerous tools, inexperienced workers, or inadequate training and supervision are often contributory factors in many New York construction accidents.
Employers and property owners are required to provide a safe work environment for their workers.
