Reps · Fire Watch · Flaggers in NYC.

On-demand and short-term safety staffing for NYC construction sites: fire watch during sprinkler impairments, flaggers for crane picks, watchpersons during off-hours, OSHA-30 reps to support the GC's superintendent.

02 When It's Required

Not every NYC construction safety need requires a licensed Site Safety Manager. Many projects need short-term, shift-based, or single-task safety personnel: fire watch during sprinkler impairment, flaggers for crane picks, watchpersons during off-hours, OSHA-30 reps to support a GC's superintendent. We staff all of it, day or night, with credentialed personnel and same-day deployment when required.

"Safety representatives, fire watch personnel, and flaggers must hold the credentials specific to their assigned role on a NYC construction site, including FDNY Certificates of Fitness, OSHA-30 Construction, and NYC SST cards as applicable."

06 Pricing

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

  1. Project size, height, and DOB classification (Major Building, alteration, demolition)
  2. Project duration: months on the books drive total fee
  3. Shift requirements: night, weekend, 24-hour operations
  4. Dual credentials needed (SSM + CSM, SSM + F-89, etc.)
  5. Complexity and risk profile: adjacent to occupied buildings, transit, landmarks
  6. Geography: mobilization distance from our Brooklyn HQ
07 Who This Is For

Active NYC construction projects needing short-term, shift-based, or single-task safety personnel. Particularly during sprinkler / standpipe impairments, crane operations, and off-hour shifts.
