Following a series of deadly accidents amid the city's construction boom, the City Council is again taking up the issue of construction safety today.
The council is scheduled to vote on legislation mandating that a site safety manager be present during concrete pouring operations, and that workers take safety courses.
They'll also take up a bill that will change the requirements for becoming the city's Buildings Commissioner. Under the current law, the position must be held by a certified architect or engineer.
