What happens if I do not renew my SST card before it expires?
2020-04-24
Failure to complete the required training and renewal process prior to the SST card expiration date may result in the expired card holder having to RESTART the process. Full (worker) SST card holders may be required to complete up to 40 hours of training and Supervisor SST card holders 62 hours of training. After completion […]
Is there a grace-period (extension) to renew after my SST Card expiration?
2020-04-23
No, the NYC DOB has not indicated they will offer an extension after the card expiration to complete the renewal requirements. Therefore, the SST card must be renewed prior to the individual card’s expiration date. Prior to applying to renew the SST card, all required renewal training must be completed.
Does the renewal of the SST card also count towards the renewal of one or more of the safety trainings used to qualify for the original SST card?
2020-04-22
No, renewing the SST card will not update/refresh the expiration date (s) of the training courses completed towards the original SST card. However, if you complete the 4-HR Supported Scaffold User and Refresher Course* as part of your SST renewal training, assuming it is the in person or virtual version of the course, you can […]
