New York City requires construction and demolition workers at most major building sites to hold a Site Safety Training (SST) Card under NYC Local Law 196 of 2017. SST cards expire every five years and must be renewed to remain valid.
To earn a new card, workers must complete eight hours of DOB-approved refresher training. This package contains all the training courses workers need to renew an SST card 100% online.
This SST refresher package includes everything workers need to renew a current DOB-issued Site Safety Training card.
It consists of two four-hour safety courses and a new SST card issued by the New York City Department of Buildings.

Workers must complete an 8-hour refresher training program before their cards expire to remain current. Supervisors must complete a 16-hour program.
Approved courses may be completed up to one year before the current card's expiration date.
