Labor Law sec. 200

Section 200 of the Labor Law

As noted in the preceding post, most of the searches that lead to this blawg are on the Labor Law. Therefore, I have provided the text for the applicable section of Labor Law section 200. This statute codifies the common-law duty that a worker must be provided with a reasonably safe worksite

Section 200 provides:

General duty to protect the health and safety of employees;
enforcement.

1. All places to which this chapter applies shall be so
constructed, equipped, arranged, operated and conducted as to provide
reasonable and adequate protection to the lives, health and safety of
all persons employed therein or lawfully frequenting such places. All
machinery, equipment, and devices in such places shall be so placed,
operated, guarded, and lighted as to provide reasonable and adequate
protection to all such persons. The board may make rules to carry into
effect the provisions of this section.
