New York Laws Allow No Excuses When It Comes to Worker Safety
State legislators enacted the New York Safe Place to Work Laws to make it clear that an employer, as well as a project owner and/or the owner of the property where the accident occurred and all the contractors they hire, can be held liable if a worker was injured because of a safety violation. The owners of the property and/or project as well as their contractors are strictly liable to the injured worker and cannot hide behind the excuse that it was the worker's own employer who is at fault.
