Every construction leader in New York City understands that safety is far more than a priority. Safety is a legal obligation! From the skyscrapers of Manhattan to the job sites in Queens, supervisors carry the weight of responsibility for every worker under their direction.
That is exactly why NYC SST Supervisor Training is not optional. This training is the foundation of compliance, safety, and trust on any NYC construction site. Here is what all construction leaders should know to stay compliant:
What the Law Requires
If you work in a supervisory role on an NYC construction site, safety compliance is not optional, it is the law. Local Law 196 of 2017 requires all construction supervisors on sites with a Site Safety Plan to complete 62 hour NYC SST Supervisor Training, approved by the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB). This includes anyone serving as a:
- Site Safety Manager
- Site Safety Coordinator
- Construction Superintendent
- Concrete Safety Manager
- Competent Person
Without this verification, you can not legally oversee workers or operate on most major construction sites across NYC.
How the Training is Structured
The NYC SST Supervisor Training is designed to give you a complete understanding of construction site safety while aligning with both OSHA and NYC DOB standards. The full 62-hour program combines several courses, including:
- OSHA 30-Hour Outreach Training for Construction
- 8-Hour Fall Prevention
- 8-Hour Site Safety Manager Refresher
- 4-Hour Supported Scaffold User and Refresher
- Two hours of SST elective modules (select from DOE-approved general or specialized safety topics)
As a supervisor you will need to complete all 62 hours and pass your quizzes and exams with at least a 75% score to receive your official NYC SST Supervisor Card.
Who Needs to Take It and When
If you are supervising workers on any NYC construction site that falls under DOB oversight, this training is mandatory before stepping into that leadership role. Those who already hold a valid OSHA 30 card can meet the full 62-hour requirement by completing an upgrade package like the 32-hour or 22-hour option.
Once completed, your SST card remains valid for five years, after which a 16-hour refresher course is required to stay up to date.
Staying compliant with NYC SST Supervisor Training is not just about meeting regulations, it is about protecting lives.
