Local Law 196 requires workers and supervisors at most NYC construction sites to earn an SST card by completing a series of DOB-approved Site Safety Training (SST) courses. Both supervisors and workers need an SST card to enter any New York City jobsite with a Site Safety Plan.

OSHA Education Center is a DOB-approved SST course provider and is authorized to issue SST cards. You can also apply training you completed with any other DOB-approved provider toward your SST card. Our online SST courses and our 10- and 30-hour OSHA courses are DOB-approved and accepted by all Department-approved SST card providers.

What Is SST Training?

SST training is a safety training program for New York City construction workers that is required under NYC Local Law 196 of 2017. Construction and demolition workers are required to have an SST Worker card or SST Supervisor card to enter any NYC jobsite with a Site Safety Plan.

Who Needs an SST Card Under Local Law 196?

Site Safety Training requirements apply to construction and demolition workers at New York City jobsites with a Site Safety Plan. This includes workers and supervisors at any job with a designated Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator or Site Safety Manager.

Workers need 40 hours of training to earn an SST Worker card. Our guide to NYC Local Law 196 explains which construction roles require Site Safety Training and which are exempt. You can also email the DOB at LocalLaw196@buildings.nyc.gov with questions about the SST requirements for your specific role.

SST supervisors are required to complete 62 hours of DOB-approved training to earn their SST Supervisor card. As of December 2019, all supervisors at an NYC jobsite with a Site Safety Plan must hold a valid SST Supervisor card.

Which Courses Do Workers Need for a 40-Hour SST Card?

Construction workers can earn their SST card in several ways. The list of required courses will vary depending on your training history.

SST Course List for Workers

Workers have two options for getting their SST card. If you already have an OSHA 30 card, you must complete 10 additional hours of DOB-approved Site Safety Training. A separate course curriculum is available to workers who have an OSHA 10 card.

Option 1 for OSHA 30 Card Holders

Option 2 for OSHA 10 Card Holders

Either option above will satisfy DOB requirements to get a 40-hour SST Worker card.

Which Courses Do Supervisors Need for a 62-Hour SST Card?

The DOB requires supervisors to complete 62 hours of Site Safety Training to earn an SST Supervisor card. They must complete eight SST required courses, two SST General Electives and two SST Special Electives.

Are Your SST Cards Approved by NYC DOB?

Yes. We issue DOB-approved SST cards, and we guarantee that we will upload your card to the DOB's Training Connect system for future card verification. Unfortunately, not all providers upload cards to this system after course completion. If your card can't be verified on Training Connect, your SST renewal training provider may not be able to issue you a refresher card. Avoid future issues with renewal by training with OSHA Education Center.

How Often Do I Have to Renew My SST Card?

All DOB-approved SST cards are valid for five years from the date of issue. Workers and supervisors must complete DOB-approved SST refresher training courses every five years to remain current.

For instance, if you earned your SST card in 2020, you would need to complete SST refresher training in 2025, 2030, 2035, etc. Only current SST cards can be renewed. If you allow your training to lapse, you must repeat the initial training process under Local Law 196.

Are These Courses IACET-Accredited?

All of our SST courses are accredited by the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). To access an IACET-accredited course, each student must create an account using a unique email and password.

Before accessing IACET-accredited course content for the first time, students must also complete an attestation of their identity. The attestation will require students to confirm that their name is the same as the one that was registered and that they will be personally completing each module/session of instruction.
