New SST Cards For
Large Construction Sites
 |
Beginning
February 1st, 2023, all workers and supervisors on SST
construction work sites in New York City must have a new
NYC DOB Training Connect Site Safety Training (SST)
Cards.
Since January 1st, 2022, DOB-approved course providers
have issued new SST Cards through NYC DOB Training
Connect, a web-based platform designed to streamline the
process of obtaining an SST Card. These new SST cards
have an approved uniform design regardless of which
approved training provider was used.
Starting in February 2023, older SST Cards issued before
2022 will no longer be accepted by DOB as proof that the
required safety training has been completed.
