Important Information
For New York Property
Owners and Tenants
As a result of New York Labor Law Section 240, you may be liable for injuries to
contractors you hire to do work at or on your property.
Learn more about this law and what you can do to reduce your risk.
As a New York property owner or a tenant who hires contractors to repair, alter, paint, erect, demolish,
clean or point a building or structure under New York Law Section 240, you may be liable for injuries
sustained by the contractor's workers who fallfrom heights or who are struck by falling objects.
This law places responsibility for worksite safety on owners and tenants who hire contractors. Liability
under New York Labor Law Section 240 may be imposed regardless of whether the property owner
exercised supervision or control over the injured worker.
Examples of Claims and Lawsuits
Contractors often work at heights and use ladders, scaffolding or other devices in order to get a job done.
Itwould not be uncommon for a contractor's employee (injured in a fall
from a height on your property) to
bring a legal action against you or your company. Examples of situations that resulted in a claim and/or
lawsuit under Section 240 of the New York Labor Law include:
o A maintenance worker fellfrom a ladder and was injured while taking down ceiling tilesfor a
store owner to correct a drafty condition created by improperly installed ceiling insulation.
o Trade Association hired a contractor to assist in installinga stage. an
Plaintiff, employee of
the contractor, fellfour feet and was injured.
o A worker was injured when he fellfrom an elevated height while removing and replacing
piping for a machine oilsupply and return system for our manufacturing risk.
o A worker was injured in a fall
from a steel beam. There was no scaffold beneath the beam.
In each of these cases, the property owner or business owner was alleged to be liable based on the fact
that they had hired a contractor to do work.
Impact on Insurance Coverage
Claims and lawsuits under Section 240 of the New York Labor Law may have an adverse effect on your
company's finances and insurance program.
o The most significant risk isa judgment against your company in excess of your policy's limitof
liability.
Some claims based on this law have been $1 millionor more.
o Your future insurance premiums may increase as a resultof lawsuits against your company.
o Because favorable claim history is a key component of your insurability, insurance
liability
may become difficult
to obtain.

Reducing Your Risk
There are a few simple risk management techniques that should be considered in consultation with your
attorney or insurance agent to help reduce the chances of your business being involved in litigation:
1. Prior to the start of any work, have a written contract in place that includes an
appropriate indemnification clause. Ensure that all contracts and indemnification
clauses are reviewed by a qualified attorney priorto signing.
"primary" "non-contributory"
2. Be named as a and Additional Insured on the
contractor's General Liability Policy. This method of transferring risk could be
significantin the event of a loss.
3. Only hire reputable contractors to perform work of any kind on your property, whether
owned or leased. Pre-qualify contractors by reviewing previous work, securing
recommendations from previous customers, reviewing the contractor's financial
condition, inquiring about past losses, and ensuring the contractor has adequate and
Workers'
appropriate insurance coverage, including Compensation coverage.
4. Require all contractors you hireto strictlyfollow allOSHA and NY State Industrial
Regulations. Ensure that the contractor is aware of the applicable regulations and
laws that apply to thisexposure.
Taking these simple steps willhelp minimize the possibility of the New York Labor Law having an adverse
effect on your company's finances and insurance program, as a result of hiring a contractor. For more
