The Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is committed to ensuring construction sites are safe for both workers and the public on all its projects. DDC requires that work carried out by contractors on construction sites complies with applicable Federal, State and City laws, rules, and regulations. Contractors must also maintain contract safety requirements and construction safety procedures and protocols.

For all DDC projects, it is standard requirement to have the contractor submit a site safety plan that follows the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines. DDC Safety and Site Support Division ensures the safe handling of hazardous materials, construction safety compliance, and that material testing are properly taking place. Various safety inspections and audits are performed during construction activities to ensure that work complies with the applicable regulations.

Community Construction Liaisons (CCLs) work on behalf of DDC as the first point of contact for local community members and stakeholders. They are responsible for communicating construction impacts to the local community and helping to resolve construction-related inquiries. The ESCR CCLs will be introduced to the community and will become well known to community members in the neighborhoods where they work. They will maintain frequent contact with residents, small and large businesses, local schools, emergency responders, and other key stakeholders to distribute relevant construction information and updates. CCLs will also attend community meetings such as Community Board meetings to provide project updates.
