There are many course providers offering in-person, online on-demand, and online webinar classes that will allow you to obtain either OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 card.

The OSHA 10-hour course covers safety and hazards for entry-level workers. The OSHA 30-hour course covers greater variety of safety topics and is intended for supervisors and workers with some health and safety responsibility. In New York State, OSHA 10-hour training is required on most publicly funded construction projects. In New York City (NYC) OSHA 10-hour or 30-hour training is required to obtain the Temporary Site Safety Training (SST) card, valid for 6 months. The trainee then has 6 months to complete additional 30 hours of SST training to obtain the Site Safety SST card, valid for 5 years. An SST card is a mandatory requirement on all construction projects in NYC that require Site Safety Manager, Site Safety Coordinator, or Superintendent. Is OSHA Online Training Acceptable in NYC? Yes. OSHA online training courses are acceptable in NYC, as long as they are “actively proctored”. Actively proctored simply means that the course provider must ensure the identity of the student taking the online training, and that they shall be monitored at random intervals that they are the individual completing the training. The trainee must also attest that they are the individual who attends the training and that the training is completed without any assistance by others.
