What GCs in New York check for
It is on every GC checklist and is often the first thing an ISNetworld or Avetta audit asks for. The reviewer looks for a product inventory for this project, where the SDS binder is, who administers the program, and the training section.
The plan is written for a New York project address, so the New York requirements a GC in New York City expects to see are included, not left for you to add.
- Federal OSHA covers private construction; New York's Labor Law 240 and 241 add owner and contractor duties for elevation-related work.
- New York City major buildings need a Site Safety Plan from a DOB-licensed Site Safety Manager and SST cards for every worker; we do not prepare those.
- New York requires OSHA 10 for workers on public work contracts over $250,000.
The structure follows 29 CFR 1910.1200(e) as applied to construction by 1926.59, so the sections a reviewer expects are in the order they expect them.
The sample pages on this site are for a fictional electrical sub; your plan reads the same way with your project, your GC, and your crew.

Questions from New York every sub
- Is a HazCom program required for a small subcontractor in New York?
- Yes, for any employer whose workers use or are exposed to hazardous chemicals, which includes adhesives, solvents, fuels, and cement products. Private construction in New York is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (multiple area offices); NYC Department of Buildings for site safety plans); the state program covers public employers only.
- Do I need an SDS for every product?
- Yes, for every hazardous product you bring to the site, on site and reachable during the shift. The wizard pre-fills the usual products for your trade; you add yours and say where the binder is.
- Does a hazard communication program have to be state-specific in New York?
- Private construction in New York is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (multiple area offices); NYC Department of Buildings for site safety plans); the state program covers public employers only. Your plan is written for the project address, and where New York has its own rule on the subject the plan says so and applies the stricter requirement.
- Is this OSHA-approved?
- No document is. OSHA and the state programs do not approve written plans; they inspect against them. This plan is prepared from your answers, says so on page one, and you adopt and implement it. That is what a GC's safety director is checking for.
- How long does it take?
- About 15 minutes of questions on your phone, then the documents generate in under two minutes. Word and PDF, English and Spanish, with your logo on the cover.
- What if the GC asks for changes?
- Edit your answers and regenerate as often as you like for 30 days at no charge. Every version stays downloadable. If it is not what you needed, reply to any of our emails within 30 days for a full refund.
