SST Card Request

SST Card is a mandatory training requirement to work on most construction sites in New York City, and is a proof that you have completed your training with an approved Department of Buildings training provider. PDH STAR is a New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) approved Site Safety Training (SST) provider and is authorized to issue the mandatory Limited, Temporary, Site Safety (Worker) and Supervisor SST card. We can issue the card even if you have completed your training with other course provider(s).

Please note that, in case your application for an SST card is denied, you will not be able to receive any refund – for trainees who completed an SST package (10, 22, 32, 40, or 62 Hour Package) with PDH STAR, the SST card is processed free of charge. All SST card orders are non-refundable. It is your responsibility to make sure that you are eligible to receive the SST card and have all the required documentation before making the payment. In case you have completed the training with another course provider, you need to submit all supporting documentation as described below, including a copy (front and back) of your OSHA card – OSHA certificates of completion issued by other providers are not acceptable for the purpose of issuing an SST card.
