NYC DOB Training Connect SST Card: Types & Benefits

Benefits of the NYC DOB Training Connect SST Card:

• Easy Verification: The Connect Card combines all training records, allowing workers and employers to quickly confirm completion of required courses, such as OSHA 30, 4-Hour Supported Scaffold, and additional SST hours.
• Improved Compliance: The Connect Card makes it easy for workers to fulfill the 40-hour SST requirement (or 62 hours for supervisors), which is important for working on designated job sites.
• On-Site Convenience: Workers no longer need to carry multiple certificates or worry about losing separate training certificates. The single Connect Card is enough to show proof of all completed safety training.
• Real-Time Access to Records: The Connect Card has a scannable QR code that allows employers or site inspectors to instantly check up-to-date training records, saving time on compliance verification.
