-- Enforce Coverage Group, a leading provider of workers’ compensation solutions for contractors, has published a new in-depth guide tailored specifically for New York City’s high-risk construction trades. The guide, titled "Workers’ Comp Insurance for NYC’s High-Risk Construction Trades," addresses common pain points such as premium reduction, injury risk management, and compliance with NYC-specific safety regulations.
Contractors in roofing, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical fields face some of the highest workers’ comp rates in the country due to injury exposure, complex class code requirements, and New York’s strict regulatory environment. The newly released guide offers actionable insights for reducing premiums, avoiding audits, and staying compliant with local labor laws, especially the Scaffold Law (Labor Law 240/241) and Department of Buildings (DOB) enforcement.
“We created this guide to give contractors clarity and control over their coverage,” said Patrick Ryder, Managing Partner at Enforce Coverage. “It’s not just about meeting state requirements. It’s about protecting your crew, lowering costs, and running a safer, smarter business in one of the most demanding construction markets in the country.”
The guide breaks down:
- NYC-specific workers’ comp class codes and risk categories
- EMR (Experience Modification Rate) strategies to reduce premiums
- Safety protocols for high-risk trades
- Pay-as-you-go insurance models for seasonal and project-based payrolls
- The risks of worker misclassification (W-2 vs. 1099)
The release is part of Enforce Coverage Group’s ongoing mission to support local contractors with proactive, trade-specific insurance solutions. Additional blog content tailored to each major trade, roofers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers, will be published throughout the month to further expand on the guide’s core topics.
