Working on scaffolding in NYC? The city wants proof you know what you’re doing. This 4-hour course checks that box. It’s short, it’s online, and it counts toward your SST card if you’re building that up. Scaffold safety isn’t sexy, but falling 40 feet isn’t either. Take the course.
At a Glance
- Duration: 4 hours (self-paced online)
- Price: $50
- Outcome: Certificate of completion + SST credit
- Requirement: NYC DOB for anyone using or working on supported scaffolding
- Works as: Initial training OR refresher
Who Is This For
You work on scaffolding. Or near it. Or you’re about to. The NYC DOB says you need training before you step foot on a supported scaffold, and this is it. Also works as a refresher if your prior training’s getting stale. Four hours. Fifty bucks. Keeps you legal and (hopefully) alive.
What You’ll Learn
How scaffolding works. How it fails. How to inspect it before you trust your life to it. Load limits, fall protection, NYC-specific rules. The kind of stuff that sounds boring until you’re 40 feet up and realize you actually need to know it.
What You’ll Need
- 📱 A smartphone with a camera – that’s it. No laptop required.
- 100% mobile-friendly – take the course on your phone during lunch, on the train, wherever.
- Stable internet connection – WiFi or cellular works fine.
