Each year, thousands of construction workers are injured on the job due to falls. To help reduce these incidents and enhance job site safety, New York City’s Department of Buildings (NYC DOB) created additional fall hazard standards to supplement those established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The NYC SST-307 8-Hour Fall Prevention for Construction course provides extensive training on fall hazard identification, evaluation, prevention, and more to adhere to all federal and NYC Local Law 196 regulations regarding worksite falls.
NOTICE: New York City Local Law 196 (LL196) of 2017 specifies that, as part of the course requirements for 8-Hour Fall Prevention, trainees demonstrate wearing generic fall protection equipment.
Our online training program is approved by the NYC Department of Buildings to satisfy the Site Safety Training (SST) requirements. However, we recommend that employees work with their employers to ensure that trainees taking this course have the opportunity to put on, take off, and safely use the protective equipment required for use on the job, learn about other project specific fall protection and ask questions specific to the project. NYC DOB Provider ID Number: 4T75
Upon completing all necessary training courses to satisfy NYC SST requirements, you will be eligible to receive an SST card. Please note that the SST card is not automatically included and must be obtained separately. To acquire your SST card, you will need to purchase the Site Safety Training (SST) Card course. This course will guide you through the complex process of applying for an SST card, ensuring you meet the requirements of New York City Local Law 196 of 2017 (LL 196). Get clear, step-by-step instructions that simplify the process and help you obtain your SST card with ease.
If you are purchasing this course as part of the 40-Hour Complete Worker or 62-Hour Complete Supervisor Safety Pack, the SST card is included.
