NYC Local Law 196 requires construction and demolition workers at most major jobsites to have 40-hours of DOB-approved Site Safety Training and an SST card. Workers must have a valid SST card to enter any New York City jobsite with a Site Safety Plan.
This 10-hour course package includes an official SST card and every DOB-required course for workers with a valid 30-hour OSHA card issued within the past five years.

This Local Law 196 requirement applies to most employees at jobsites with a Site Safety Plan. If you are unsure whether your jobsite has a Site Safety Plan, consult the DOB Site Safety Construction map. If your jobsite is listed on the map, you will need to have an SST card to work there.
Which Courses Do I Need if I Have an OSHA 10 Card?
If you have a 10-hour OSHA card that was issued within the past five years, you can meet DOB requirements for a 40-hour SST card with the following courses:
- SST 8-Hour Fall Prevention
- SST 8-Hour Site Safety Manager Refresher/Chapter 33
- SST 4-Hour Supported Scaffold User and Refresher
- SST 2-Hour Drug and Alcohol Awareness
- SST 1-Hour Tools — Hand and Power

Those who need to complete OSHA training and SST can earn their SST card by completing 40-Hour SST for Workers.
Can I Apply Previously Completed Training Toward My SST Card?
Yes, you can receive SST credit hours for certain DOB-approved courses you completed within the last five years. Please consult the DOB's list of Approved SST Course Equivalents for a full breakdown of courses you can apply toward your SST requirements.
Can I Get My 40-Hour SST Card by Taking 10-Hour OSHA and 30-Hour OSHA?
No. OSHA 10- and 30-hour courses cannot be combined to meet the 40-hour Site Safety Training requirement. You must complete either 10-hour OSHA or 30-hour OSHA training and then satisfy your remaining hours with DOB-approved SST courses.
