LANCMAN, PHEFFER, JAFFEE -- read once and referred to the Committee on Labor AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to enacting the "OSHA notification act" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "OSHA notification act." S 2. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the health and safety of the population living in and around the many construction projects within the densely populated city of New York is a matter of state concern as pressure mounts to build more and more while completing projects in the shortest time possible. Construction is the most dangerous occupation, with death rates four times the average for other workers and conditions adjacent to construction sites danger- ous to the public. Recent construction accidents involving cranes, for example, have killed construction workers and members of the public, and have resulted or will result in the expenditure of state resources for emergency services, court administration and infrastructure repair. Additionally, two senior buildings department officials were recently charged with various state crimes related to their failure to perform their duties and to protect public safety. Construction safety in the city of New York is covered by federal, state and local statutes, regu- lations and agencies and can only be achieved through proper coordi- nation and cooperation among the federal, state and local government. Testimony at a 2008 legislative hearing focused on safety problems in the New York city construction industry, including the lack of coordi- nation between the department of buildings and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Requiring the department of buildings to report potential workplace safety hazards to OSHA, the entity respon- EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
