Deadline Extended:
Workers Now Have Until March 1st to Meet the Local Law 196 40-Hour Site
Safety Training Requirement

Have you
heard? The NYC Council passed a bill to extend the deadline from
September 1, 2020 to

March 1, 2021

for workers on Site
Safety Training (SST) construction sites to meet the 40 hours of
safety training mandated by Local Law 196 of 2017. However, the Department of Buildings encourages
workers who have not yet met the SST requirements to not delay
in getting the required training. Required training can be
obtained through Department-approved SST and/or Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) classes. Training is
available both online and in-person.

Looking for more information on Local Law 196 (LL196)? Here are some DOB
resources that can help:

Does Your
Site Have SST Requirements?
Workers, employers, and owners can use
DOB's interactive

Site Safety Construction Map to locate active SST construction sites and find out if a site requires site safety training.

Locate a DOB-approved SST Training Provider
Need to obtain additional mandatory training hours? Course
seekers can now search using DOB's
Approved Course Provider Map tool 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 additional LL196
training requirements by taking
OSHA 10-Hour or 30-Hour classes from an OSHA-certified
training provider.

Additional Information
Please visit our

website for more LL196 information and read our Service
Notice. For questions about the training requirements or to get
additional information, please contact DOB at
