Are the New Residential Construction Fall Regulations too Costly to Implement in New York?

"It costs too much."

"You can't expect construction employers to implement these fall safety regulations because it is too much of a financial burden, especially in a bad economy."

These are some of the arguments being presented to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) about the recent residential construction fall safety regulations that were put in place. It seems that construction residential fall regulations have taken center stage in the debate about the proper balance between safety regulations and financial burden on an employer.

Are Residential Roofing Regulations Too Costly - and Should You Care?

As a construction worker, the debate about cost and safety is important to you. If, on the one hand, safety is too costly then there may be fewer jobs or your wages may be lower to account for the added cost. On the other hand, the absence of adequate construction safety regulations may present a significant danger to you and put your life and health at risk.

In determining whether the new roofing regulations are too costly, it is important to consider both the costs of implementing the regulations and the costs of fall injuries and fatalities that could occur in the absence of the regulations. Accidents can be costly and cost a construction company not only for damages incurred but also future business if their reputation for safety is compromised.
