DOB-Certified Concrete Safety Manager in NYC.
DOB-certified Concrete Safety Managers for major concrete operations on NYC Major Buildings. Pre-pour, pour-day, and stripping discipline under §3310.10. Every credential held by an SSM W-2 employee.
A Concrete Safety Manager is required under BC §3310.10 on any Major Building (15+ stories or 200+ ft) where concrete operations occur. The CSM credential is in addition to the project's Site Safety Manager, not a replacement for it. On smaller projects or where scope allows, a single individual holding both SSM and CSM credentials may serve both roles, subject to DOB approval.
"A Concrete Safety Manager certified by the Department shall be designated for major buildings where concrete operations are performed, to inspect formwork, shoring, reshoring, and pour operations."
NYC Building Code · §3310.10
- Inspect formwork, shoring, and reshoring before each concrete pour

- Inspect formwork stripping operations and verify break test results before reshoring is removed
- Document any defects (honeycombing, cold joints, voids) and corrective action
- Coordinate with the project's structural engineer of record (TR-1 / TR-8)
- Train and supervise concrete-specific safety toolbox talks
Project intake
Send DOB job number, address, and key project documents. We confirm the credential needed and quote a fixed weekly or hourly rate.
Manager assignment
We match your project to a licensed manager whose experience fits your scope and provide their license number and resume before they start.
Mobilization
Manager visits the site, reviews the approved Site Safety Plan, meets the GC superintendent, and confirms day-one logistics.
On-site coverage
Daily presence aligned to your active hours, including night shifts and weekends if required. Logbook updated in real time and shared weekly.
Project closeout
Final logbook delivered, sign-off on remaining DOB requirements, and the final invoice issued.
Many of our CSMs also hold the Site Safety Manager credential, which can reduce overall safety staffing cost on projects where one person can legally cover both roles.
A premium service, quoted per project.
Skilled Safety Management is a premium service. We don't publish standard rate cards because every NYC project has different scope, duration, shift requirements, and complexity factors that materially change the price. We provide a fixed-fee proposal within 24 hours of receiving your project documents.
Factors that affect a quote
- Project size, height, and DOB classification (Major Building, alteration, demolition)
- Project duration: months on the books drive total fee
- Shift requirements: night, weekend, 24-hour operations
- Dual credentials needed (SSM + CSM, SSM + F-89, etc.)
- Complexity and risk profile: adjacent to occupied buildings, transit, landmarks
- Geography: mobilization distance from our Brooklyn HQ
