Qualified Person for Site Safety

---

When it comes to construction in New York City, there’s no room for error. Every job site presents unique challenges, and every project comes with its own set of risks. That’s why having a Qualified Person for Site Safety (QPSS) isn’t just a box to check—it’s a critical decision that can make or break your project’s success. At AMS Safety, we provide experienced, certified professionals who know how to keep your job site safe, compliant, and on schedule.

A Qualified Person for Site Safety (QPSS) is a certified expert who possesses the knowledge, experience, and credentials to identify, evaluate, and control hazards on a construction site. This individual plays a key role in implementing and enforcing safety protocols, conducting site inspections, and ensuring compliance with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) regulations and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

The QPSS is responsible for:

• Conducting Regular Site Safety Inspections: Identifying potential hazards before they lead to accidents or costly delays.
• Overseeing Safety Training: Ensuring all site personnel are properly trained in safety protocols and emergency procedures.
• Implementing Safety Programs: Developing and enforcing site-specific safety plans tailored to the unique risks of your project.
• Ensuring Compliance with Regulations: Keeping your site up-to-date with all NYC DOB and OSHA regulations to avoid fines, stop-work orders, and other legal issues.
• Coordinating with Other Safety Professionals: Working closely with site safety managers, fire safety managers, and construction superintendents to create a comprehensive safety strategy.

In NYC, a Qualified Person for Site Safety is required on most construction projects that involve significant risk or complexity. This includes:

• High-Rise Construction: Projects involving tall buildings where the risk of falls and other accidents is significantly higher.
• Demolition Work: When demolishing existing structures, the presence of a QPSS is crucial to manage potential hazards like falling debris and structural collapse.
• Major Renovations and Alterations: Any project involving significant structural changes or complex logistics requires a QPSS to oversee safety measures and ensure compliance.
• Multi-Trade Projects: When multiple trades are working simultaneously, a QPSS is necessary to coordinate safety efforts and prevent accidents.
