Pitfalls & Risks of Accident Investigations and Job Site Photos – Albany

Who Should Attend: Superintendents, Safety Professionals, Project Managers, Project Executives, Principals

Taking photos on a jobsite can be beneficial, but also involve some risk.

• Learn about the risks of jobsite photos:

-Taking photos of just violations and hazards
-Taking photos of only really bad violations, but no record of anything else
-Not taking photos of corrections, or proper conditions
-How photos can and will be used against you in a lawsuit – how to prepare
-Photos can and will be subpoenaed, what will they show?
-How photos can be used for your defense – what photos should you take?
-When subcontractors take their own photos, should the GC get a copy of those?

By the time an accident occurs, the photos are frozen in time.  Will they help you or hurt you? This program will touch on accident investigations, but the focus will be about all the photos leading up to that.

AGC NYS doesn’t advocate for or against taking photos – we just want the members to be prepared.  Your safety program and how you operate that is up to you, but be educated on the pitfalls of either side.
