Local Law 196 of 2017 introduced new training requirements for construction and demolition workers in New York City, which apply to those working on major construction projects that require a Site Safety Plan. Workers and supervisors must acquire the appropriate Site Safety Training (SST) card to prove they have completed the required training. The SST card serves as proof of compliance with the training requirements set forth by Local Law 196.
Each course is tailored to specific roles and responsibilities within scaffold operations, ensuring that workers and supervisors are well-equipped to handle their duties safely and in compliance with regulatory standards. Ensure you select the appropriate training based on your role and certification needs
All these scaffold training courses are designed to meet or exceed OSHA regulations and standards for scaffold safety. OSHA regulations for scaffolds are outlined primarily in 29 CFR 1926.450-454 (Subpart L), which cover various aspects of scaffold safety including design, erection, use, and dismantling.
