Peruse the following article and figure out if it's worth the risk in waiting too long to complete say Brentwood tower #2 (at the mall entrance) after the mall area has been opened to the public: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/03/nyreg...on-accidents-are-rising-in-new-york.html |
I am already aware of that article (and others). Two things: the vast majority of those accidents were 'on site' with no public threat; and New York's numbers have already declined back to their normal range. The article reports an increase, along with some accident spectacle: and the expected reaction of politicians, and people connected with the industry. It all proved to be an anomaly - the rates continued to go up and down, and they absorbed these statistics.
But ultimately, this remains at the level of anecdote and proves nothing. For the kinds of activities involved (dangerous ones), construction is as safe as reason can expect (unlike say, driving automobiles). Your fixation on this one project, when dozens of others are also being built in close proximity to the public realm, remains silly nonsense. And don't for a second think that this means there is not work to be done to improve things. Safety in the industry is an ongoing and never ending task: improvements and adaptations, better regulation and inspection, and so on.
So, use whatever pliable argument you want (magical ones I assume if they actually influence an actual project), but from an insider's perspective, know you are just trying to make stupidity fly.
