Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the labor law, in relation to safety training for certain employees

Purpose or general idea of bill

Requires that all persons working on contracts valued at $250,000 or more receive at least ten hours of

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) training prior to their performance of work.

Summary of specific provisions

All persons working on contracts valued at $250,000 or more receive at least ten hours of OSHA (occupational Safety and Health Administration) training prior to their performance of work. The contractor, sub contractor, or other, doing part or whole work, shall be responsible for submitting certification to the department of labor prior to the commencement of any work. If an individual on a contract does not have his or her certification, then the contractor shall be liable for a fine, payable to the department of labor in the amount of five thousand dollars for its first offense.

Justification

The death of Miguel Rodriguez, the 21st NYC Construction worker to succumb to one of the many accidents that occurred in 2008, was due to the negligent and deceitful practices of a contractor. The bill will ensure that all hard working men and women in New York are aware of the safety measures that are required and needed to minimize unnecessary accidental injuries or deaths.
