Answer:
This NYC SST 2-Hour Drug and Alcohol Awareness course is for construction and demolition workers seeking to cover 2 hours of their 40 hours of Site Safety Training (SST) to receive an SST Worker Card.
Answer:
DOB-approved course providers are responsible for issuing Site Safety Training Cards upon the completion of training. HAZWOPER OSHA LLC is a DOB-approved course provider.
Answer:
Yes! As a DOB-approved training provider for obtaining your SST card, our courses are accepted in New York City.
Answer:
To obtain an SST card, you must complete specific training courses based on your job role and prior experience in NYC construction.
Current Workers: If you were already working in NYC construction before the DOB's updated Site Safety Training requirements took effect, you must complete a 40-hour DOB-approved SST Worker course to qualify for an SST Worker card.
New Entrants: If you entered the NYC construction industry after December 1, 2019, you must complete a 10-hour OSHA course before starting work. Within six months of starting your job, you must complete an additional 40 hours of training to qualify for an SST Worker card.
Answer:
The Department of Buildings (DOB) does not issue citations directly to workers. However, your employer will only permit you on-site with valid proof of Site Safety Training. This policy is in place because the DOB conducts random site inspections, and any site with untrained workers can face substantial penalties. Site owners, permit holders, and employers may incur civil fines of up to $5,000 per untrained worker if these requirements aren’t met.
Completing the required training by the deadlines set by Local Law 196 is mandatory to avoid disruptions to your work.
