The use of a scaffold in a construction site in New York is regulated by many laws. Some of those laws include such as the NYS Labor Law and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. They must also come into compliance with the manufactures specifications.
An injury on a scaffold may be compensable for many reasons. Among some of the issues to be investigated include whether or not the seating and locking mechanism of all scaffold connections were properly installed, whether or not the footings and plates were properly secured, whether or not the wooden planks were properly secured, and whether or not the proper size tubing was utilized for the particular job.
