Construction Safety Week 2013

This year's Construction Safety Week begins Monday, April 29 ― and you can join us for the kick off at the 2013 Build Safe | Live Safe Conference. This year's Build Safe | Live Safe Conference will be at the New York Marriott Downtown in Lower Manhattan.

Department of Buildings' engineers, architects and construction experts will outline recent industry trends and discuss a vision for the future of construction operations in the City. Plus, we'll lead multiple construction safety courses for professional credit. Last year's conference sold out ― so secure your seat now!

We're in the Hall of Fame!

Assistant Commissioner of Engineering and Emergency Operations Michael Alacha, PE, (right) and Acting Assistant Commissioner of Investigative Engineering Services Timothy Lynch, PE, have been honored in Vanity Fair's Hall of Fame! The magazine describes their dramatic, heroic measures to secure the Hurricane Sandy-damaged crane that dangled above West 57th Street.

Plus, Engineering News Record has named Michael one of the top 25 newsmakers in 2012 for his efforts during and after the hurricane.
