NYC Local Law 196 of 2017 will change the Construction Industry by requiring workers to earn a Site Safety Training (SST) Card
“How do I get a Site Safety Training (SST) card?”
Either complete a 100-hour Training Program (such as a union apprenticeship),
OR take the OSHA 10 plus 30 hours of additional SST training credits,
OR take the OSHA 30 plus 10 hours of additional SST training credits
(this method, taking the OSHA 30, makes you eligible for the
“Site Safety Training (SST) Supervisor” card).
New York Safety and Training’s course emphasizes hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention, not OSHA standards. Instructional time must be a minimum of 30 hours. OSHA mandates that the 30 hours of training be broken into 15 hours of mandatory topics, 12 hours of elective topics, and 3 hours of optional topics as follows:
