Expired SST Cards & Local Law 10 of 2026
NYC Local Law 10 of 2026 introduced an important change for construction workers and supervisors: qualifying expired SST cards now have a one-year renewal grace period. This change took effect on May 3, 2026, and applies to SST cards expiring on or after that date.
When Your SST Card Expires
For cards expiring on or after May 3, 2026, the expiration date starts a one-year period during which you can still qualify for renewal.
During the One-Year Grace Period
Complete the appropriate 8-Hour Worker or 16-Hour Supervisor refresher training and have your renewal processed before the grace period ends.
After the Grace Period Ends
The expired card can no longer be renewed. You must apply for a new SST card, with the applicable training and documentation requirements reviewed for new issuance.
Important: The grace period does not allow you to work with an expired SST card. You must have a valid SST card to work on jobsites where SST is required. The grace period only extends the time available to complete the renewal process.
What Else Changed Under Local Law 10?
Local Law 10 also updated SST training requirements to address mental health and wellness, suicide risk and prevention, and substance misuse.
Beginning August 1, 2026, the 2-Hour Mental Health Awareness course replaced the previous 2-Hour Drug and Alcohol Awareness course in affected SST training and renewal pathways.
For renewals, this update affects Worker Option 2 and Supervisor Options 1 and 3. Other DOB-approved renewal combinations remain available.
What If You Need a New SST Card?
If your SST card is no longer eligible for renewal, you must follow the requirements for a new SST card. Your training history and supporting credentials help determine the applicable pathway.
Construction workers can review the SST Worker training options , while supervisors can review the SST Supervisor training options .
Applying for a new card does not automatically mean every applicant must repeat all initial training. The applicable requirements depend on the training evidence accepted for new card issuance.

NYC SST Card Renewal — Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about SST renewal training, expired cards, course requirements, documentation, and receiving your new card.
When should I renew my NYC SST card?
We recommend renewing during the 12 months before your SST card expires, ideally at least 2–4 weeks before expiration.
Refresher training must be completed within 12 months before the card is renewed. Eligible cards that expire on or after May 3, 2026 can also be renewed within the one-year grace period after expiration.
Can I renew my SST card after it expires?
Yes, if your SST card expired on or after May 3, 2026, you generally have up to one year after expiration to complete the required refresher training and renew the card.
However, an expired SST card cannot be used to work on an SST-required jobsite during the grace period.
Cards that expired before May 3, 2026, or are beyond the applicable grace period, require a new SST card application.
Do I need to take OSHA 30 again to renew?
Generally, no. Standard SST Worker and Supervisor card renewals use the applicable 8-hour or 16-hour refresher training packages rather than requiring you to repeat OSHA 30.
Separate requirements may apply if you need a new SST card instead of a renewal, or if your original OSHA credential is invalid.
How long does my renewed SST card last?
NYC DOB SST cards are valid for five years from the date of issuance.
The new card's expiration date is based on its new issuance date. Remaining time on your previous card does not carry forward.
Which renewal package should I choose?
If you hold an SST Worker card, choose an 8-Hour Worker Renewal package for $150.
If you hold an SST Supervisor card, choose a 16-Hour Supervisor Renewal package for $290.
Each package option provides a different NYC DOB-approved combination of refresher courses. You only need one complete applicable package.
Upgrading from Worker to Supervisor?
If you hold a 40-Hour Worker SST card and want to obtain a Supervisor SST card, do not purchase the 16-Hour Supervisor Renewal package. That package is only for renewing an existing Supervisor SST card.
The package you need depends on when you completed your original 10-Hour SST training:
- Original 10-Hour SST training less than 5 years old: Complete the 22-Hour SST Supervisor Upgrade Package .
- Original 10-Hour SST training more than 5 years old: Complete the 32-Hour SST Supervisor Package .
Important: Renewing your Worker SST card does not reset the five-year validity period of your original 10-Hour SST training for Supervisor upgrade purposes.
Are SST renewal courses available in Spanish?
Yes. PDH STAR offers both 8-Hour Worker renewal options in Spanish, as well as 16-Hour Supervisor renewal Option 1 in Spanish.
Spanish-language enrollment links are provided alongside the relevant packages above. Pricing is the same as for English: $150 for Worker and $290 for Supervisor renewal.
What documents do I need for SST renewal?
PDH STAR requires the following documents for SST card processing:
- Completed application form
- Applicant photograph
- Government-issued photo ID
- Proof of address if your ID was issued outside New York State
- OSHA card, front and back
- Copy of your existing SST card, unless PDH STAR issued it
All required documents must be clear and approved before card issuance and mailing.
How quickly will I receive my renewed SST card?
Your physical SST card is included in the training package price.
PDH STAR mails the card within 24 hours after completion of all required training and approval of your documentation.
Mailing is not the same as delivery. Actual delivery time depends on the postal or shipping service. Card pickup is not available.
What if my SST training or card came from Redcode?
NYC DOB has invalidated SST certificates issued by Redcode Inc. Affected workers must complete the necessary replacement training by December 7, 2026.
Workers holding SST cards issued directly by Redcode must obtain a replacement SST card from a DOB-registered course provider by that deadline.
DOB is also no longer accepting OSHA cards from SM Lutfur Rahman, Redcode's owner, for meeting SST requirements. Affected workers may need to complete replacement OSHA training through a current OSHA training provider.
This is not necessarily a standard 8-hour or 16-hour SST renewal. The training needed depends on which credentials were affected.
Does my SST refresher training need to include Mental Health Awareness?
The NYC DOB update effective August 1, 2026 introduced the 2-Hour Mental Health Awareness course into selected SST renewal combinations.
This applies to Worker Option 2 and Supervisor Options 1 and 3.
Other renewal combinations, including Worker Option 1 and Supervisor Option 2, remain available without a separate Mental Health Awareness component in those particular packages.
Regulatory reference: NYC Department of Buildings — Site Safety Training Information . Requirements are subject to NYC DOB updates.
