Chapter 33 of the 2014 Construction Code Brings Changes

New provisions have been made in Chapter 33 of the 2014 Construction Codes and training sessions are underway. A total of four training sessions will highlight the following changes made:

Occupant protection plan for office buildings - during long periods of constructions and demolitions, this will ensure the safety of its occupants. 

Fire safety provisions - deep evacuation sites must include standpipes and hoists.

Daily sidewalk shed inspection - either by construction site contractors or building owners, these must now be checked daily to ensure safety and proper lighting. 

Changes to the construction code help to ensure safety for every New Yorker. Learn more about the launch at nyc.gov.
