How to Report Worksite Incidents

Most worksite incidents are preventable if proper safety precautions are taken. However, if an incident does happen, it is important for workers on the site to speak up and report it immediately to both supervisors at the site and to the Department.

How to Report an Incident at a Construction Worksite

If someone is hurt, call 911 and immediately report the incident to DOB at (212) 602-0431.

Per Local Law 78 of 2017, property owners, contractors, subcontractors, or persons otherwise in control of a construction site are required to report specific information about any site incident that resulted in a fatality or injury to a construction worker or member of the public to the Department of Building within three (3) business days using DOB’s online form. https://a810-efiling.nyc.gov/eRenewal/irn.jsp

If there is damage to temporary equipment on site, immediately report the incident to DOB at (212) 602-0431. You may also call 311.

Report all incidents to your site-safety professional, if there is one, construction superintendent and supervisor.

Stay at the site until government safety investigators get there and wait for their direction. Do not touch or move evidence unless instructed by another agency NYPD/FDNY for safety reasons.
