SERVICE UPDATE

Since January 1, 2022, DOB-approved course providers have issued new Site Safety Training (SST) Cards through the NYC DOB Training Connect Platform, a web-based platform designed to streamline the process of obtaining an SST Card and drastically reduce the likelihood of fraud. All previously issued SST Cards must be replaced by a NYC DOB Training Connect SST Card by January 31, 2023.

Enforcement

Workers who Completed Site Safety Training on or After January 1, 2022

Workers on construction sites requiring a DOB-licensed safety professional who completed their training as of January 1, 2022 must have a NYC DOB Training Connect SST Card. SST Cards not issued through NYC DOB Training Connect will not be accepted. Violations will be issued to the owner, permit holder, and employer, if applicable, for each worker who completed training as of January 1, 2022, and does not have a NYC DOB Training Connect SST Card.

Workers who Completed Site Safety Training Prior to January 1, 2022

Workers whose SST Card was issued before January 1, 2022, should contact the course provider who issued the SST Card to have it replaced with a NYC DOB Training Connect SST Card by January 31, 2023. Beginning February 1, 2023, only SST Cards issued through NYC DOB Training Connect will be accepted on construction sites requiring a DOB-licensed safety professional. SST Cards not issued through NYC DOB Training Connect will not be accepted. Violations will be issued to the owner, permit holder, and employer, if applicable, for each worker who does not have a NYC DOB Training Connect SST Card.
