"MPC members provide essential plumbing services that protect the health and safety of New York City residents," said Richard Bonelli, President of the Master Plumbers Council.  "We will continue to do whatever is in our power, including working with DOB to make construction sites as safe as possible, to minimize injuries and fatalities. This exhaustive report will help everyone better understand the factors that are impacting construction safety in NYC, which is a critical first step in preventing them from happening again. We applaud Commissioner La Rocca’s proactive initiatives that have led to a substantial decline in construction related deaths and accidents."
