BILL NUMBER: S632
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to workers on excavations
PURPOSE :
Provides that utility companies shall use competent workers and shall
pay the prevailing wage on projects where a permit to use or open a
street is issued.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section one of the bill amends the labor law by providing a new
section entitled, "Workers on Excavations." It provides that utility
companies or their contractors, to whom a permit to use or open a
street has been issued, shall use only competent workers skilled in
the required work, and that the prevailing wage for similar titles
shall be paid.
JUSTIFICATION :
This legislation is needed to ensure that the dangerous work of street
excavation is done by skilled workers. In the recent past there have
been examples where careless excavations have severed gas lines, or
communication cables, resulting in danger and great inconvenience to
communities.
