Queens construction accident attorney Keetick L. Sanchez releases a new article (https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/how-to-report-an-accident-at-a-construction-site-in-nyc/) explaining how to report a construction site accident in New York. The lawyer mentions that in New York City, the construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries for workers. According to the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health, there were 41 fatalities and 502 workers injured in 2020 alone.

“All workers on construction sites have the right to work in safe working conditions. Unfortunately, many accidents and fatalities sustained in construction accidents are entirely preventable when proper safety protocols are not followed. Because of this, New York encourages both employees and the general public to report safety violations when they see them,” says the Queens construction accident attorney.

The lawyer explains that safety violations in the New York City construction sites have been an ongoing problem. Recently, the New York City Department of Buildings published a safety report providing an analysis of incidents between 2019 and 2020 that had led to fatal and near-fatal accidents of workers during that time.

Attorney Keetick Sanchez says that in response to the published report, the city has mobilized teams of inspectors who made a zero-tolerance sweep of the construction sites in the city. Hundreds of construction sites have been shut-down for safety violations during that sweep.

In the article, attorney Sanchez adds that it is very important to report a construction site accident right away. The Department of Buildings is able to take in anonymous reports and they will not ask for a person’s name, birthday, or immigration status.

According to the injury lawyer, “Witness intervention is critical in preventing tragic construction accidents in New York City. The city wants anyone who sees a safety violation to report it immediately so it can be addressed. You can also report any safety concerns to the federal government through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA. You can file the complaint online or, if it is an immediate emergency, call 1-800-321-6742. OSHA keeps all complaints confidential.”

Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes the importance of having a skilled construction accident lawyer if they have been injured in a workplace accident. Having an experienced attorney may be able to help the victim receive the compensation that they deserve for the injuries they suffered.
