Construction Accident - Employee Rights
Scaffold Regulations


Scaffold Regulations


OSHA has a strict set of regulations that govern the use of scaffolding; all those involved with the use of scaffolds must comply with these regulations.  OSHA regulations govern the design, construction, and inspection of scaffolds. Specifics can be found at: OSHA Scaffold Regulations.

Also of note is New York Labor Law section 240, which has been called the “Scaffold Law.” The law is controversial, as it goes well beyond the standards established by OHSA. Under New York Labor Law section 240, contractors and property owners are subject to “absolute liability” with regard to scaffold accidents. That is, there is no need for an injured worker to prove negligence on the part of the owner or employer and any negligence on the part of the injured worker is irrelevant.
