Construction site accidents are regulated by a set of Labor Law provisions dictating to building owners and contractors the rules of workplace safety for workers on the job. Particularly, Section 200 addresses general workplace safety, Section 241 deals with ladders and scaffolds and Section 241 (6) relates to slipping and tripping accidents in the workplace. For the purposes of this Question and Answer Brochure, these Labor Law provisions will simply be called the State Law.
