learn about how to renew your expired 40 hour worker card for new york

What Happens If Your 40-Hour Worker SST Card Expires?

In New York City, construction and demolition workers are required to have a valid 40-hour Worker Site Safety Training (SST) card under Local Law 196. If your SST card expires, you cannot legally work on construction sites that require this certification. It’s important to get your updated card to stay compliant with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) regulations and maintain eligibility to work on major construction projects.


Steps to Renew Your Expired SST Worker Card

To renew an expired SST Worker card, the full SST portion of the training must be completed again. The renewal package includes:

  • NYC 10-Hour Site Safety Training Course.
  • NYC 8-Hour SST Worker Refresher (OSHA 30 Refresher). If OSHA 30 is more than five years old, it must be retaken, but DOB allows the 8-Hour SST Worker Refresher as an alternative

By completing these courses, workers stay current with safety requirements and remain eligible to work legally in NYC.

Why Take These Courses?

NYC construction safety regulations are regularly updated, and the DOB requires workers to refresh their knowledge. The refresher courses cover:

  • Safety protocols and hazard awareness on job sites
  • Fall protection measures and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Scaffold installation and dismantling
  • Drug and alcohol awareness.

How Long Does It Take to Renew Your Worker SST Card?

After completing the training and submitting the required documents, OSHA Training School processes your renewal the next business day. A digital version of your renewed SST card will be sent via email, and the physical card will be mailed within a week.

What Happens If You Don’t Renew Your 40-Hour SST Card?

If you don’t renew your expired Worker 40-Hour SST card, you won’t be able to work on NYC construction sites that require SST certification. Employers who allow workers to operate without valid SST cards may face penalties.
