SST Requirements NYC:
SST Cards are required on many job sites in New York City. Your SST card acts like a passport allowing you access to jbsites by confirming your identity and base line training.

Yellow SST Supervisor Renewal – three 16hr options to accomplish renewal for another 5 years.
Expired training is not removed as it provides a trainingnhistory for the worker and does not affect the expiration date on an active card.
SST Cards can only be scanned and read using the Training Connect App found on your phones App Store.
Important SST facts to save time and money:
30hr OSHA Cards can be used for SST renewals or initial SST card issuance if a 4hr Supported Scaffold User and 4hr Fall Prevention course have been completed within the past 12 months. – It is a rare instance that you will every be required to retake a 30hr OSHA again.
SSTCourses can be taken asynchronously meaning online, self paced, allowing the student to start and stop on their own schedule.
SST Cards renewals are for another 5 years by taking the required 8 hours of training for the blue worker card and 16 hours of training for the yellow supervisor card. Training can be taken within 12 months before or after the card expiration, but card must e current to continue to work onsite.

Worker Wallet Cards (Purple)
A worker wallet may resemble a purple version of an SST card, but it is not an SST Card. If the SST Card is like a passport gaining you access to the site, the Worker Wallet is just that a wallet, it holds all your non SST training, especially scaffold and rigging training. The Worker Wallet card, and the NFC chip it houses, are good for 10 years, but you need to scan the card to see exactly what training is active and on the card.
Expired training is not removed as it provides a history of worker training. To be valid the current training must be active, meaning to use a scaffold the worker must have a Worker Wallet card that when scanned shows the appropriate active training certificate.
To scan SST and Worker Wallet cards open the DOB Training Connect App, select scan card, and hold the portion of the card with the four frequency lines against the back of your phone.
