What Is NYC SST Training?
Site Safety Training, commonly called SST training, is required for many construction and demolition workers on NYC jobsites covered by Local Law 196. These requirements apply to many jobsites that require a Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator, or Site Safety Manager.
Worker SST training helps workers understand fall prevention, drug and alcohol awareness, scaffold safety, site safety planning, pre-task meetings, toolbox talks, and other construction safety topics required for DOB compliance.
Not sure what you need?
SST requirements can depend on your previous OSHA training, prior SST certificates, jobsite role, and card status. Contact Tribune Training Academy before registering if you are unsure which course applies to you.
