Site Safety Management
Reliable engineering takes many forms.
In the construction industry, safety is paramount—there’s no compromise. At Pyramid Safety & Health Solutions Inc., we specialize in providing experienced professionals for NYC Department of Building major buildings sites and other projects like NYC DEP, MTA, DOT, NYCHA, and airports. We provide required third party daily safety personnel along with flexible inspection schedules—weekly, biweekly, or monthly—to assess and mitigate construction health and safety hazards.
Our regular inspections not only reduce general liability but also lower worker injury risks, which can impact workers’ compensation insurance costs. By preventing Stop Work Orders and regulatory violations from agencies like NYC DOB and OSHA, we help keep your projects on track and on schedule.

Evaluating Risk Factors and Mitigation Strategies for Low-Rise Buildings in New York City
With the increase in construction activities in New York City, there has been a corresponding rise in accidents and injuries among workers, as reported by NYC DOB statistics. Falls and materials falling were the leading causes of accidents and injuries from 2013 to 2015, while falls and accidents involving mechanical construction equipment resulted in the majority of fatalities during that period.
Nearly half of these construction-related incidents were preventable, involving minor injuries like cuts, bruises, and scrapes that required workers to seek medical treatment independently. The economic impact includes lost productivity due to work stoppages, hefty penalties, increased insurance costs, and decreased worker morale.
Buildings under 10 stories had the highest accident rates and fatalities, largely due to the absence of onsite licensed safety professionals, safety plans, worker training, or full-time Construction Superintendents before the implementation of Local Law 196. Pyramid Solutions offers construction site safety audits for buildings of varying sizes, identifying common factors contributing to contractor errors.
