Please be advised that if your current OSHA 30 card is about to expire (five years from the date of issue): Although the NYC DOB no longer imposes an expiration of the card after five years if issued the SST Training Connect Card, there are agencies/general contractors such as the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) and School Construction Authority (SCA) that require all workers on their projects to have a valid OSHA 30 card that is within five years from the date of issue.

To avoid being denied work opportunities with such places, it is advised that you take the 30-hour OSHA course again to maintain a current and valid card. You may take the OSHA 30 with Voice Authentication with Click Safety.  This course is still valid and eligible for reimbursement through Local 28.  Click the following link to register https://business.clicksafety.com/smart28/

Please be advised if your current SST card is now within one year of its expiration date, it will need to be refreshed no later than the expiration date listed on the card. As per NYC DOB requirements, if you do not refresh your card prior to the expiration date, you will be required to take the entire SST course over again to receive a new card. There is no grace period given for cards that are not refreshed prior to the expiration date.

SST Card Exchange Required by NYC DOB

The NYC Dept. of Buildings has required that all SST cards be exchanged for a NEW NFC-enabled Training Connect SST Card. The new card has improved security features and synchronizes your training history across all DOB-approved Course Providers. THIS CARD DOES NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL TRAINING.
