elevator requirements; construction project; employees.

Summary

The bill mandates that any construction project planned to rise at least 60 feet above ground or 48 feet below ground must provide a personnel hoist, temporary elevator, or employee elevator. The elevator must be installed and operational once the building reaches 36 feet high, covering structures like parapet walls, mechanical rooms, stair towers, and elevator penthouses, but excludes items such as antennas, smokestacks, flag poles, or similar attachments. This aims to give workers safe vertical access on tall projects.
