The Scaffold Laws

Under New York Scaffold Law, owners and contractors are strictly liable for providing employees with appropriate safety devices, such as guardrails and fall arrest systems. Furthermore, if a worker is injured, even if he or she is at fault, the owner or contractor can be held responsible.
