The de Blasio administration on
Monday announced a Day of Action for
Nov. 7 to inform day laborers, including
immigrant workers, in the construction
industry about the upcoming Dec.
1 deadline for workers and supervisors
to obtain site safety training as required
under Local Law 196 of 2017.
According to Jose Bayona, director of
Community & Ethnic Media, New York
City Mayor’s Office, the Day of Action
will direct city agencies, in partnership
with day laborer organizations, to conduct
outreach to day laborers, including
immigrant workers.
“In an effort to holistically engage
workers, outreach will be conducted on
worker pick-up and drop-off locations
in all five boroughs at various locations,”
Bayona said.
Buildings Commissioner, Melanie E.
La Rocca said “every worker who leaves
for the job site in the morning deserves
to come home safely at night, which is
why safety training is so important.
“This citywide campaign is designed
to raise awareness among hard-toreach
populations, such as the city’s
day laborers, of the upcoming deadline
for workers to have 30 hours of training,”
she said. “We are proud to partner
with our colleagues in the Mayor’s
Office, our fellow city agencies, and
day laborer organizations on this day
of action.”
Bitta Mostofi, Commissioner of the
Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs,
said this Day of Action will engage day
laborers, including immigrant workers,
on the new training requirements
“that will keep New York City worksites
safer for all.
“Immigrant workers are an integral
part of our workforce and economy,
and we look forward to working with
community organizations to ensure
they know how and where they obtain
this critical safety training,” Mostofi
said.
Bayona said the administration is
partnering with community organizations
across the city, such as Workers
Justice Project, the New York Committee
for Occupational Safety and Health,
Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of New
York, New Immigrant Community
Empowerment, and La Colmena.
Starting Dec. 1, Bayona said workers
at major construction sites will be
required to have at least 30 hours of
site-safety training, and supervisors
must have at least 62 hours of training.
