Focus on your development vision while we handle safety and risk management. Our certified, licensed Site Safety Managers—with over 30 years of construction safety experience—work proactively to minimize hazards.
From hazard inspections to concrete operations, Site Safety has the specialized expertise to keep your employees safe and your project moving forward, no matter how extensive the construction or complex the regulations.
Life safety audit inspections identify hazards and non-compliant conditions that violate the standards of OSHA and local regulatory agencies. These inspections involve visual observations, photographs, and a written electronic report. Let us inspect your site to keep your employees hazard free and know that a safety professional has reviewed your project.
Fire guards (F-01, F-60, F-92) must be assigned at least one floor below hot work operations for fire exposures that are not viewable by one fire guard. They are required to walk job sites after hot work operations and in NYC, be present on construction projects from close of business until 7am. They are available at your request.
Your client may require you to provide oversight by a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) to make worksite assessments to determine risks. We employ CSP’s to assist you in assessing potential hazards, evaluating risks and preparing emergency response plans.
Don’t forget about this requirement. A Concrete Safety Manager (CSM) needs to be present during concrete operations in NYC that involve the placement of 2,000 cubic yards or more of concrete.

A safety meeting is the time to pinpoint minor hazards before they result in real problems. It also presents a good opportunity to discuss hazards that are inherent in the environment and that even the most experienced employees are likely to overlook. Let us guide your staff on holding a productive safety meeting.
Orientations provide employees with necessary safety information specific to their job site. They inform workers about workplace hazards, site conditions, acceptable conduct and equipment while also providing an opportunity to ask questions to clarify new information. We make these orientations simple and understandable.
Tenant Protection Plans require weekly inspections by a NYC DOB Special Inspection Agency. Site Safety is a registered Special Inspection Agency that can inspect your project for compliance with the law.
