Only 3 Weeks Left to Meet the 40-Hour
Site Safety Training Deadline

The deadline
for workers on Site Safety Training (SST) construction sites
to meet the 40 hours of safety training mandated by Local
Law 196 of 2017 is March 1, 2021.

DOB
encourages workers who have not yet met the SST requirements
to obtain the

required training as soon as possible in order to
continue working on SST sites.

Need to find
training? Course seekers can search using DOB's

Approved Course Provider Map which gives the option
to filter through course providers by location, the
availability of online training, language, and type of
training.

Course
seekers can also meet the training requirements by taking
OSHA 10-Hour or 30-Hour classes from an

OSHA-certified training provider.

Please visit
our

SST-LL 196 FAQs page for more on Local Law 196. For
additional questions about the training requirements, please contact DOB at

LocalLaw196@buildings.nyc.gov.
