What is Intro 1447-C?
Passed into law September 2017, Intro 1447-C is a bill that will mandate workers on NYC construction sites that require a construction superintendent, site safety manager, site safety coordinator, concrete safety manager, or competent person to receive a specified amount of safety training. Since the required total of 40 hours of safety training may be difficult for some to acquire in a short period of time, the city council has put three separate compliance dates in place. Each compliance date will require a certain “Site Safety Training (SST) Card” which will represent the amount of training the worker has received.
First Compliance Date: March 1st 2018
Workers must have one of the following:
- OSHA 10 Hour Class
- OSHA 30 Hour Class
- 100-Hour Training Program
Second Compliance Date: December 1st 2018
Workers must have one of the following:
- Full SST Card
- Limited SST Card
- Temporary SST Card
- Supervisor SST Card
Final Compliance Date: May 1st 2019
Workers must have one of the following:
- Full SST Card
- Temporary SST Card
- Supervisor SST Card
How will Intro 1447-C affect me?
Starting March 1st, 2018 all workers will need a valid OSHA 10 Construction Card and supervisors will need a valid OSHA 30 Construction Card.
