Your NYC SST Supervisor Card renewal under Option 1

SST Supervisor Card Renewal: Option 1 is a 16-hour package of four NYC DOB Site Safety Training courses: 8-Hour Fall Prevention, 4-Hour Supported Scaffold User and Refresher, 2-Hour Mental Health Awareness and 2-Hour Tool Box Talks. It satisfies Option 1 of DOB's three renewal options for an SST Supervisor Card.

SST cards are valid for 5 years from issuance, and Local Law 196 of 2017 requires a current card on NYC sites that need a Site Safety Plan. Under Local Law 10 of 2026, a card that expires on or after May 3, 2026 can be renewed up to one year after it expires. You cannot work on site with an expired card during that year. After the year, you need a new card and the full training. You do not retake OSHA to renew.

This option suits supervisors and competent persons who oversee scaffold work and want the full 8-Hour Fall Prevention course. Since August 1, 2026, DOB has paired 2-Hour Mental Health Awareness with 2-Hour Tool Box Talks or 2-Hour Pre-Task Meeting in some renewal options; this package uses Tool Box Talks. The 4-Hour Supported Scaffold course gives SST credit only. It does not give or renew a Supported Scaffold User certification on your DOB Worker Wallet card. All four courses are awareness-level.

Every course is online and self-paced, with narrated slides, knowledge checks after each module and a final exam. You need 70% to pass each exam. Seat time is tracked, so no course can be finished faster than its required hours. Take the courses in any order. You will be asked to verify your identity. When you finish, your training provider processes your renewal following DOB's process.

What you'll learn

Drawn from the training objectives in DOB's outlines for the courses in this package.

  • Name the three types of fall hazard and state which trigger height governs: general work, scaffolds or steel erection.
  • Calculate total fall distance for a shock-absorbing lanyard and a self-retracting lifeline, and choose an anchorage from the result.
  • Walk a supported scaffold from base to ties, and know who performs the installation and pre-shift inspections.
  • Inspect a harness, lanyard, connectors and self-retracting lifeline before use, and take damaged equipment out of service.
  • Recognize the warning signs that a coworker needs help now, and respond to an opioid overdose in the right order.
  • Build a toolbox talk around a hazard and its control, and check that the crew understood it.

Who can enroll

  • An SST Supervisor Card that is current, or that expired less than one year ago, for cards expiring on or after May 3, 2026.
  • You do not retake 30-Hour OSHA, 10-Hour OSHA or 40-Hour Site Safety.
  • Plan to finish the refresher training before your card expires, and within the year before you renew.
  • If your card expired more than one year ago, you need a new card with full training. If it expired before May 3, 2026, the grace period does not cover it. You need a new card and the full initial training.

Who it's for

  • Supervisors whose card expired on or after May 3, 2026, less than one year ago

Questions

My card has expired. Can I still renew?

Under Local Law 10 of 2026, a card that expires on or after May 3, 2026 can be renewed up to one year after it expires. You cannot work on site with an expired card during that year. After the year is up, you need a new card, which means the full new-card training.

Do I have to retake OSHA to renew?

No. OSHA does not need to be retaken for an SST card renewal. You only complete the refresher courses in your chosen renewal option.

How do the three Supervisor renewal options differ?

All three are 16 hours and any one renews a Supervisor card. SST Supervisor Card Renewal: Option 1 is 8-Hour Fall Prevention, 4-Hour Supported Scaffold, 2-Hour Mental Health Awareness and 2-Hour Tool Box Talks. SST Supervisor Card Renewal: Option 2 is 8-Hour Fall Prevention and 8-Hour Site Safety. SST Supervisor Card Renewal: Option 3 is 8-Hour Site Safety, 4-Hour Fall Prevention, 2-Hour Mental Health Awareness and 2-Hour Tool Box Talks.

Why is Mental Health Awareness part of this renewal?

Since August 1, 2026, DOB has added 2-Hour Mental Health Awareness to some renewal options, always paired with 2-Hour Tool Box Talks or 2-Hour Pre-Task Meeting. This package fills that slot with 2-Hour Tool Box Talks. The course covers mental health and wellness, suicide risk and prevention, and alcohol and substance misuse, the topics Local Law 10 of 2026 added.

Does the 4-Hour Supported Scaffold course give me a scaffold card?

No. It gives SST credit only. Since July 1, 2025, scaffold certifications live on the DOB Worker Wallet card, and this course does not add or renew a Supported Scaffold User certification there. If your work requires that certification, you need a separate card-granting course.

When should I take the renewal training?

Finish the refresher training before your card expires, and within the year before you renew. If your card has already expired, you can still renew within the one-year grace period, but you cannot work on site until it is renewed.

Can I use this package to renew a Worker card?

You do not need to. A Worker card renews with 8 hours. See SST Worker Card Renewal: Option 1 or SST Worker Card Renewal: Option 2.

Can I take the courses in any order?

Yes. Take them in any order and stop and return as you need to. Seat time is tracked, so each course takes at least its required hours, and you need 70% on each final exam.
