As part of an ongoing effort to ensure qualified people are managing construction sites and upholding safety standards, on June 2, 2008 the NYC Department of buildings will begin certifying Site Safety Coordinators, who will be responsible for supervising construction and demolition of 10- to 14-story buildings. A Certified Site Safety Manager must be on-site at buildings above 14 stories where construction or demolition is being conducted. Site Safety Coordinators may not supervise buildings this height. The Site Safety Coordinator certification is valid for one year, and a $100.00 initial fee must be paid prior to the background investigation. The NYC Department of Buildings will begin temporarily certifying Site Safety Coordinators on June 2, 2008. Official Certification will be completed, pending the outcome of the applicant’s background investigation. Please see attached file for details on how to become a site safety coordinator.
