Changes to
Improve NYC Tower Crane Safety
[Posted 06/28/2008]
In the wake of
crane collapses in March and May 2008, the New York
City Department of Buildings has announced an
overhaul of the city’s tower crane safety
regulations aimed at strengthening maintenance and
inspection requirements to improve safety in and
around construction sites with tower cranes. New
requirements include additional testing, labeling,
and tracking of critical components; improved
maintenance records; and an expanded role for crane
safety coordinators.
