New York State Requirements
New York State requires OSHA 10-Hour certification for all workers employed on public works construction projects. This requirement is enforced by the New York State Department of Labor and applies to all trades on state-funded projects.
New York City Requirements
New York City goes further: Local Law 196 requires Site Safety Training (SST) for all workers and supervisors on construction sites requiring a construction superintendent, site safety coordinator, or site safety manager. OSHA 10-Hour satisfies the 10-hour card requirement, and OSHA 30-Hour satisfies the 30-hour card requirement.
Deadlines and Enforcement
NYC DOB enforces these requirements on covered job sites. Workers without the required training cards can be removed from job sites. Supervisors must have their OSHA 30-Hour card on site at all times.
