N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 12 § 21.0 - Finding of fact
The board finds that the trade, occupation or process of cleaning the windows of public buildings involves such elements of danger to the lives, health or safety of persons employed therein as to require special regulations for the protection of such persons, in that such trade, occupation or process necessarily involves the constant hazard of falling from dangerous heights and creates a substantial risk of serious injury to such persons and others.
Notes
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
