NYC SST Card Training

The NYC DOB now requires construction and demolition workers to obtain an SST card and 40 hours of DOB-approved Site Safety Training. Without an SST card, they will not be permitted to work at any construction site in New York City with a Site Safety Plan. All construction sites with a Site Safety Plan must meet Local Law 196 training requirements. 

OSHAcampus® has all the online safety training courses you need to meet your compliance requirements and get to work fast!

Local Law 196 of 2017 requires that construction workers and supervisors at most major worksites in the five boroughs receive additional safety training. It applies to all NYC construction sites with a Site Safety Plan and a designated construction supervisor, site safety coordinator, or site safety manager.

An SST card is mandatory for individuals working on construction or demolition sites in New York City that are required to designate a Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator, or Site Safety Manager. This includes:

• Construction Workers and Laborers
• Demolition Workers
• Forepersons
• Journeypersons
• Supervisors and Competent Persons
• Site Safety Managers and Coordinators
• Concrete Safety Managers

These requirements are stipulated under Local Law 196 of 2017.

However, certain roles are exempt from this requirement, such as:

• Building Site Owners
• Project Managers
• Professional Engineers (PE)
• Registered Architects (RA)
• Developers
• Delivery Persons
• Construction Managers
• Flag Persons
• General Contractors
• DOB Licensees and Registrants not serving as CS, SSC, SSM, or CSM
• Concrete Testing Laboratories/Concrete Inspectors
• Filing Representatives
• Security Officers
• Special Inspectors
• Service Technicians
• Consultants
