Information

The following amendments to Title 1 of the Rules of the City of New York, set forth course requirements for the construction trades:

Local Law 196 of 2017 (LL196) requires many construction workers to complete Site Safety Training courses and to carry Site Safety Training (SST) cards as proof of completion of the training.

Local Law 219 of 2019 amends the Administrative Code of the City of New York and the New York City Building Code, in relation to clarifying the requirements for DOB-Approved Course Providers and persons required to obtain Site Safety Training.

To help foster integrity in the construction industry, the Department of Buildings has issued this Code of Conduct that was created specifically for industry professionals and others who conduct business with the Department. Use this as a guide when conducting business with Department employees.
