How to Minimize Construction Site Dangers During the Pandemic In New York
Now that we know that the COVID-19 pandemic will be around for another year or two, we must make sure that all construction site employers follow the best safety guidelines.

Since these guidelines are rather comprehensive, it will help to review them based on each of the specific construction safety topics they address. Both employers and workers must alter many past work practices to keep everyone safe from COVID-19 and regular construction site dangers. Subjects addressed include the need to create multiple teams and shifts, asking everyone about whether they are free of COVID-19 symptoms, distributing PPE (personal protective equipment) as needed, and helping workers keep their hands sanitized throughout the day.

Once a 9/11 survivor’s medical condition has been formally certified – for cancer or another disease – based on the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) list, that person can begin receiving medical care covered by the WTC Health Program. As most adults recall, back on September 11, 2001, multiple plane hijackings and suicide attacks were committed against America by 19 terrorists affiliated with the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda. Approximately 2,750 people were killed in New York City, another 184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania. More than 400 firefighters and police were killed trying to help others survive these attacks. Numerous other first responders, teachers, students, and general workers in those areas also suffered
