To legally operate as a contractor in New York, professionals must obtain a license through local city or county agencies—most notably the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB). Licensing requirements vary by region and specialty (e.g., general contracting, electrical, plumbing), but typically involve proof of experience, insurance, and passing relevant exams. In NYC, contractors must also register with the DOB and comply with strict safety, labor, and zoning regulations to work on construction projects legally.
Operating forklifts and heavy machinery on New York construction sites requires proper training and certification to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. Workers must be trained in equipment handling, load limits, and hazard awareness, as outlined by OSHA and site-specific standards. Certified operators reduce the risk of accidents, improve efficiency, and are often a legal requirement on commercial and union-controlled job sites across the state.
