2012 Build Safe │ Live Safe Conference |
||||||||
|
We kicked off the 8th annual Construction Safety Week with the Department's Build Safe / Live Safe conference at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square! On Monday, Commissioner Robert LiMandri and Deputy Mayor for Operations Cas Holloway opened the event. During the safety summit, a dozen Department experts focused on a host of topics, including 3D Site Safety Plans, which we are now accepting as part of a new program to improve safety. Construction Safety Week also included an expanded Homeowner's and Tenant's Night in each borough office, and we continued our Experience Is Not Enough safety campaign by distributing bracelets and posters — reminding workers they must always use fall protection, no matter how long they've been in construction. |
No-Penalty Retaining Wall Inspections
The Department's annual No-Penalty Retaining Wall Inspection Program begins May 7, and it runs through June 30. Our inspectors will be performing free, no-penalty retaining wall inspections, and no violations will be issued during the program. Private property owners with retaining walls are eligible.
Call 311 to request a retaining wall inspection as part of this program.
