Local Law 196 of 2017 Site
Safety Training Deadline Reminder

Local Law 196 of 2017 mandates that workers at job sites which require a
Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator or Site
Safety Manager must have 40 hours of Site Safety Training by
March 1, 2021. Read our
Service Notice.

Proof of Completed Training

Starting March 1, 2021,
construction and demolition workers at the above sites must
have a Site Safety Training (SST) Card issued by a

DOB-approved course provider as proof of completed training.
Recognizing there may be delays between completion of
training and the issuance of the actual SST Card, DOB
will accept the following proofs of training:

A printout of the front of
the SST Card, issued by a DOB-approved course provider
(valid if a worker is trained for a period of sixty days
from issuance).

Digital SST Cards connected
to an interactive and secure application.

New to the Construction and Demolition Workforce?

New construction and
demolition workers can begin working at SST sites after
obtaining a Temporary SST Card from a
DOB-approved course provider.

A Temporary SST Card
can also be obtained by completing an
OSHA 10-Hour course and is

valid for six months from the date of issuance

while the worker obtains the remaining 30 hours of
training.

Please visit our

Site Safety Training Page for more information on

training requirements or email us at:
