8-Hour Site Safety Renewal

8-Hour Site Safety Renewal

The 8-Hour Site Safety Renewal is a required refresher training for construction workers and supervisors who hold a valid NYC Site Safety Training (SST) card. This course ensures that participants stay updated with current safety regulations and continue to meet NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) requirements.

In New York City, SST cardholders must complete renewal training before their certification expires in order to maintain active status and continue working on regulated construction sites.

The 8-Hour Site Safety Renewal focuses on reinforcing key safety practices and updating workers on hazard prevention strategies used in modern construction environments.
