Construction can be a dangerous line of work in New York, but luckily there are a number of New York Labor Laws in place to protect construction workers. Through its Labor Laws, New York provides protection to construction workers who are injured while involved in the demolition, repair, alteration, or preparation of commercial buildings in New York and New York City.
