Less than
1 Week 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.

training? Course seekers can search for training
providers 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 information on
Local Law 196.
