NYC DOB 40-hour Site Safety Manager Course

The 40-hr curriculum covers the 2014 NYC Building Codes, including the requisite review of the updated Chapter 33 “SAFEGUARDS DURING CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION”, as well as current Federal and State regulatory standards and applicable local laws to ensure compliance and safe work practices in construction. This course is also required for the qualified and experienced construction industry personnel applying for the Site Safety Manager license or registering with the NYC DOB as a Certified Site Safety Coordinator or Registered Construction Superintendent. In addition, New York City Building Department is proposing a rule, requiring a “Written Designation of a Competent Person”; one of the qualifications will be that a designated competent person “…satisfactorily completed a site safety manager training course that is least 40 hours in length and is approved by the department”.
