Workplace Safety: Guides, Standards, Training
Construction sites across The Bronx are under the same strict safety rules as the rest of New York City. Whether you’re working on a new mid-rise in Mott Haven or managing teams across multiple sites in Fordham, anyone stepping onto a DOB-regulated job site must meet NYC Site Safety Training (SST) requirements.
OSHA Pros, through OSHA.net, provides official SST training courses approved by the NYC Department of Buildings. These programs are built and taught by Certified Safety Professionals who understand what construction teams face on the ground. We help both individuals and employers in The Bronx get the right training without wasted time or confusion.
Whether you’re getting your first SST card or overseeing dozens of workers, we offer the tools and support to keep you compliant, safe, and job-ready.
Local Law 196 mandates that workers and supervisors on most construction sites in NYC complete a set number of DOB-approved safety training hours. The Bronx is no exception. If the job site requires a Site Safety Plan, the workers need the right training credentials in place.
Workers must complete 40 hours of safety instruction to qualify for a Full SST Card. Supervisors have a separate track with 62 hours of training. For employers, this also means staying on top of certification across your team to avoid penalties or stop-work orders.
We work directly with crews, project managers, and contractors in The Bronx to help them meet these requirements efficiently.
If you want to work on construction or demolition sites in New York City, you are required to have site safety training that complies with the NYC Department of Building’s requirements if there is a Site Safety Plan for the site. Our SST Training courses provide you with information that meets these requirements and allows those who pass them the ability to work on these job sites.
This Local Law 196 is a requirement that construction workers and supervisors in the five boroughs of New York City receive safety training. This applies to most major worksites throughout the city, including those with a Site Safety Plan and a designated site safety coordinator, site safety manager, or construction supervisor.
Workers and New Entrants must initially pass a Department of Building-approved course that is 40 hours in length. Supervisors must pass a Department of Building-approved course that is 62 hours in length. These SST trainings are valid for a period of five years. Before the expiration of these SST trainings, a mandatory refresher course must be taken which is 8 hours in length. These refresher courses must continue every five years to remain compliant.
Before a course begins an initial verification is done to verify the identity and/or prior training documentation. All cards issued by OSHA Pros will have a QR code that can be scanned to verify a student’s eligibility.
We can also verify the SST training card with an email that includes the following information:
If you’re on a construction site in The Bronx and that site falls under DOB oversight, you will need a Full SST Worker Card.
To get there, the following courses are required:
If you’re just starting out or recently hired, you can begin with:
New entrants often complete their hours through a bundled 10 plus 30-hour course, or by spreading the training across several sessions. If you are unsure where to begin, OSHA Pros can help guide you or your HR department through the right path.
Supervisors hold more responsibility on-site and must meet a higher training requirement. If you are directing others, inspecting work, or responsible for safety compliance, you need the 62-Hour SST Supervisor Course.
That includes:
This course gives Bronx-based supervisors the knowledge needed to maintain safe sites, avoid DOB violations, and stay in good standing as responsible managers.
OSHA Pros offers this refresher both online and in person for maximum flexibility. Employers can also use our compliance tracking options to monitor who needs to renew and when.
Do not risk letting cards lapse. If you or your team members are nearing the five-year mark, it is time to schedule your refresher.
From the South Bronx’s commercial growth to new multi-family developments in Throgs Neck, construction across The Bronx is booming. Projects are popping up in neighborhoods like Soundview, Pelham Bay, and Kingsbridge, all of which fall under DOB enforcement. That means every crew on every site needs SST training.
We work with Bronx-based contractors and workers every day who are juggling tight project deadlines, limited site space, and growing oversight. We help them stay compliant without slowing down.
If your work is in The Bronx and your site falls under a Site Safety Plan, you need training that meets NYC regulations. OSHA Pros is ready to help you get there.
