8-HOUR SITE SAFETY

During the training, students will review the hazards associated with working in the New York City construction environment and the specific methods and work practices required on an urban construction site.

Upon completion of this course, you will receive a 8-hour Site Safety certificate on your SST card.

Site Safety Manager License holders must successfully complete this safety manager training course one year immediately prior to renewing their license, which expires every 3 years.
