S 3418 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to building new one-family residential construction

This bill amends New York labor law to clarify that contractors building new one-family residential construction are exempt from certain safety equipment requirements. Specifically, it adds "contractors building new one-family residential construction" to the list of exempt parties (alongside owners of one- and two-family dwellings who don't direct work) for rules requiring scaffolding, hoists, and other protective devices during construction. The change directly affects contractors working on new single-family home projects, removing their obligation to provide certain safety equipment during construction. This is a technical adjustment to existing labor safety regulations, not a new policy.
