peer agreement (net): +1obrażenie będące następstwem upadku osób lub przedmiotów z wysokości Explanation: Gravity related injuries are related to falls of people or objects. ccccccc Property Owner and General Contractor Responsibility for Gravity Related Injury Over a century ago, in 1885, the New York Legislators enacted the first scaffold law in response to concerns over unsafe conditions for employees who worked at heights. This came as a reaction to the widespread accounts of deaths and injuries on construction sites due to gravity related injuries. The law has since evolved adapting to new industry standards and judicial interpretation of these laws. Section 240 (1) of the Labor Law places the responsibility directly on the parties responsible for the job site’s safety and creates a presumption of employer’s liability when a scaffold or ladder collapses or a construction worker falls from a height. http://www.unionlawfirm.com/must-know-info/property-owner-an... cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc "Labor Law § 240 (1) applies to both 'falling worker' and 'falling object' cases" (Narducci v Manhasset Bay Assoc., 96 NY2d 259, 267 [2001]). http://www.coryhmorris.com/single-post/2016/02/15/New-York-L... ccccccccc New York workers injured on the job from scaffolding falls can obtain workers’ compensation benefits. But they can also pursue recourse under the New York Scaffold Safety Law. Fortunately, New York workers injured on the job from scaffolding falls or other types of injuries are protected under the state's workers' compensation laws if they sustain an injury while working. http://www.thekleinlawgroup.com/Articles/The-Scaffold-Safety... cccccccccc Gravity-related Accidents and Injuries Gravity-related injuries are extremely common in the construction business. Injuries from roof falls, scaffold falls, and dangerous falling objects and debris are among the most common — and the most devastating — construction injuries. In many instances, under New York law, a construction worker injured in a gravity related injury cannot be held partially responsible. The insurance company is prevented from claiming you are partially responsible for the accident. Construction site falls Scaffold accidents Roof fall accident Ladder accidents Crane accidents and falling equipment Open elevator shaft way accidents Unguarded openings Falling objects and debris Trench collapse injuries Excavation injuries Holes in construction floors http://www.keoghcrispi.law/Construction-Accidents/ |
