Out-of-State Contractors: Get Your NYC SST Online
You’re based in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. You bid on jobs in New York City. When you get the contract, your first question is usually: “What do I need?”
If you’re working on a NYC construction site, you need an SST card — and federal OSHA doesn’t cover it.
The Reality: Out-of-State OSHA Doesn’t Work in NYC
You already have OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 from working in NJ or PA. That card is valid nationwide. But on NYC sites, the NYC Department of Buildings doesn’t care about federal OSHA. They care about NYC Local Law 196.
Local Law 196 requires every worker on NYC construction sites to have:
- 10 hours of NYC SST training (workers)
- 32 hours of NYC SST training (supervisors)
No exceptions. No carve-outs for out-of-state workers. No credit for your OSHA card. It’s NYC law — and the DOB enforces it.
Here’s the Bridge: Online, Self-Paced, From Your Home State
You don’t have to drive to NYC or take time off the job. Predictive Safety delivers DOB-approved SST training 100% online:
- Self-paced (finish in 2-3 days)
- Take it from NJ, PA, or anywhere
- English and Spanish
- Certificate delivered immediately; physical card within 1-3 weeks
Once your card arrives, you’re good to work any NYC site for 5 years.
