Why Safety Monitoring Is Critical — Not Optional
Worker Safety & Risk Mitigation
- Construction in NYC is dangerous: many serious accidents stem from ignored safety protocols. Monitoring helps catch issues early — before injuries or fatalities.
- Even minor violations can escalate if unaddressed — leading to compounded risk, liability and human cost.
Financial & Legal Protection
- Fines for safety violations are steep. A single unresolved issue can trigger thousands in penalties, project delays, and insurance complications
- Safety violations — especially repeated ones — can trigger stop-work orders, which stall the entire construction timeline, lead to lost revenue, and erode trust with investors, lenders, or tenants.
Regulatory Compliance & Due Diligence
- For property managers, developers, contractors and investors — being proactive demonstrates regulatory diligence, helps with financing, insurance, and avoids post-sale surprises.
- For multi-site portfolios, manual checks are unscalable. Automated monitoring ensures you never miss a citation across dozens of buildings.
