The NYC School Construction Authority (NYC SCA) has introduced a Safety Program & Procedures Manual to ensure safe practices in New York City school building projects. The manual mandates strict adherence to its policies for the protection of SCA personnel, school occupants, workers, and the public. Contractors must create secure work environments according to relevant safety laws, with the highest standard prevailing in case of conflicting regulations. The objective is to prevent accidents and negligence-related harm. NYCSCA emphasizes shared safety responsibility and holds all eligible Contractor employees accountable for safety performance under the Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP).
