How Do I Get My SST Supervisor Card?

After you complete your 62 hours of required Site Safety Training, you can apply for your SST Supervisor card online. You will need to submit training certificates for any courses you completed with a provider other than OSHA Education Center. Once we validate your training and confirm you have met all requirements, we will submit your information to the DOB, who will issue you an SST Supervisor card by mail.

If you purchase our 32-Hour or 62-Hour SST Supervisor course packages, your SST card will be included. After you complete your training, you can apply for your card within your account.

Will My SST Supervisor Card Expire?

Your SST Supervisor card will expire five years after the issue date printed on the card. You must complete refresher training every five years to renew your card.

We offer a 16-Hour SST Refresher for Supervisors package that contains everything you need to renew your existing SST Supervisor card, including a replacement card with an updated expiration date.

Can I Receive SST Credit for Safety Training Courses I Already Completed?

Yes, the DOB accepts approved courses that you completed within the past five years. To receive credit, you will need to provide valid proof of course completion, such as a course certificate.

Some DOB courses are accepted as equivalent to Site Safety Training. You can find a full list of DOB-approved SST course equivalents on the DOB website.

Can I Receive SST Credit for Courses I Completed Years Ago?

Yes. As long as the course is DOB-approved and you completed it within the past five years, you can apply it toward the 62 hours of training needed for your SST Supervisor card. Simply provide your certificates of completion to an approved SST card provider.

Are Supervisors for a Subcontractor Required to Have an SST Supervisor Card?

Yes. All workers and supervisors at jobsites with a Site Safety Plan must have an SST card regardless of whether they are a general contractor or a subcontractor.

Are Forepersons Considered Supervisors Who Need an SST Supervisor Card?

According to Local Law 196, you are only considered a supervisor if you serve on a construction site as a Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator, Site Safety Manager, Concrete Safety Manager or Competent Person.

Does the Size of My Company or Job Affect DOB Training Requirements?

No. If you're involved in any work at a site with a Site Safety Plan, you must meet Local Law 196 training requirements regardless of your company size.
