					Sweep of 
					Construction Sites for Safety Violations 
 
						
							|  | 
							Yesterday, 
							
							DOB announced the mobilization of teams of DOB 
							enforcement inspectors across the five 
							boroughs to perform safety sweeps of the city's 
							larger and more complex construction sites, to 
							ensure that they are safe for both workers and the 
							public. While performing these zero tolerance 
							sweeps, DOB inspectors will issue enforcement 
							actions if they observe any safety violations and 
							will shut down sites if they find serious safety 
							lapses. Our 
							inspectors and community engagement teams will also 
							be distributing 
							
							"Worker Alert" safety information at 
							construction sites on the dangers of worker falls. 
							In the last two weeks, three construction workers in 
							New York City lost their lives in separate 
							work-related incidents. Two of these fatal incidents 
							were the result of worker falls. These three 
							incidents are still under investigation by the 
							Department and our partners in law enforcement. 
							During this sweep, DOB inspectors will be conducting 
							site visits at thousands of construction work sites 
							in neighborhoods across the city. Contractors who 
							are found to be putting their workers at risk by 
							flouting safety regulations could face penalties of 
							up to $25,000 for each construction safety 
							violation. |  |
