NEW YORK CITY SITE SAFETY TRAINING (SST)

NYC SST stands for New York City Site Safety Training. It’s a safety training program for construction and demolition workers in the five boroughs that was established under NYC Local Law 196 of 2017.

When you complete SST Training, you’ll receive a durable plastic card in the mail that will serve as proof of training. This is referred to as an SST card. It’s valid for 5 years.
 

NYC’s Site Safety Training requirements apply to any job site with a Site Safety Plan or a designated Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator, or Site Safety Manager. These rules essentially apply to anything larger than a 3-family dwelling.

Most construction personnel will need a 40-hour Worker SST card, but certain job titles will require a 62-hour Supervisor SST card. This includes the Site Safety Manager, Site Safety Coordinator, Concrete Safety Manager, Construction Superintendent, and any Competent Person designated by the Construction Superintendent.
 

NYC SST cards can only be issued by training providers approved by the NYC DOB (Department of Buildings), so you’ll need to ensure that you find a DOB-approved provider.

We’re a DOB-approved provider under our parent company (360training). Our Provider ID number is 4T02.

Next, you need to choose a course package that will give you the right level of training – a 40-hour Worker SST card for most construction/demolition personnel or a 62-hour Supervisor SST card for a few designated titles (see the previous question).

Once you’ve completed all required coursework and passed all quizzes and tests, your training provider will issue your SST card.

If you need to verify that someone’s SST card is valid, you can scan the QR code on the back of all cards issued by 360training. Alternatively, you can email us with the student’s name, SST card number and type, issuance date, and expiration date. We’ll get back to you within 3-5 business days.
