A Temporary Site Safety Training (SST) Card is a short-term SST card for construction and demolition workers who have not yet completed the 40 hours of Site Safety Training required under New York City's Local Law 196 of 2017 but have completed at least the OSHA 10 hour Construction training. This card is valid for six months and allows workers to start working on New York City construction sites while completing the remaining NYC SST 30 Hour Training. Workers must complete this training within the six-month period to get the 40-Hour SST card, which is required to continue working.
Any individual ready to start working immediately on a construction site in New York City and has a valid OSHA 10 hour card (not older than five years) can apply for a Temporary SST card. To receive this card, they must enroll in the NYC SST 30 Hour Training and complete it within six months to qualify for the SST worker card.
If the required training is not completed within six months, your Temporary SST card will expire. In this case, you will no longer be eligible to work on construction sites until you complete the required Site Safety Training and get the SST worker card, which remains valid for five years.
Although the temporary card allows workers to start jobs right away, completing the full 40 hours training is important for safety on construction sites. It shows that workers comply with local laws and equips them with the skills needed to work safely in high-risk environments.
To apply for the Temporary SST Card, visit the NYC SST page and select the NYC SST 30 Hour Program. After enrolling, OSHA Training School will require some documents, which you will need to email us to process your Temporary SST card.
