NYC Site Safety Training (SST) requirements apply to construction and demolition workers on New York City jobsites that have a Site Safety Plan in place. This includes workers and supervisors involved in any job that has a designated Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator, or Site Safety Manager.
The NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) requires initial hires to complete 40-62 hours of mandatory SST training to obtain their NYC SST card. After the initial training, individuals must complete refresher training before the five-year anniversary of when their card was issued. These requirements ensure that workers are trained and knowledgeable about site safety practices, contributing to a safer work environment in New York City construction sites.
