Site Safety Training (10-hour extension to OSHA-30)

The 8-hour Fall Prevention course and 2-hour Drug and Alcohol Awareness course are New York City Department of Buildings-approved safety courses that are part of the required certifications to receive a 40-hour SST Site Safety Training (SST) card. The 40-hour SST worker cards are required for construction workers on most construction sites within the five boroughs of New York City. The 8-hour Fall Prevention course provides an overview of the risks and precautions necessary to work safely at heights. The 2-hour Drug and Alcohol Awareness course addresses how alcohol and addictions in general can negatively impact job site safety. The full certifications needed to obtain your SST worker card to work on job sites in NYC are a 30-hour OSHA, the New York City DOB-approved 8-hour Fall Prevention Course, and the New York City DOB-approved 2-hour Drug and Alcohol Awareness course. Completing all three of these courses makes a student eligible to be issued an SST card.
