DOB Unveils New Construction Safety Plan
MANHATTAN — A new program that allows contractors on the city’s largest construction projects to electronically submit three-dimensional interactive images of a project’s required site safety plan was unveiled Monday at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square on Monday.
The unveiling took place at the 2012 Build Safe, Live Safe Conference, which kicked off the Department of Buildings (DOB) Construction Safety Week, according to DOB Commissioner Robert LiMandri.
“The program is designed to increase the overall safety of the construction process while accelerating department plan approvals,” he said.
