Practice point: Section 200 codifies an owner or contractor's common-law duty to maintain a safe construction site.
Students should note that if plaintiff was injured as the result of an allegedly dangerous condition at the work site, liability may attach if defendant had control over the work site and either created or had actual or constructive notice of the dangerous condition.
