About New York OSHA Training Requirements

The State of New York requires all workers on public construction projects valued at more than $250,000 (and that means pretty much all public work projects) have OSHA 10 hour safety training. This is intended to ensure all public work contractors have such training concerns taken care of “prior to the performing of any work on the project.”

The safety training can be administered on-site or online. These online OSHA 10 hour construction or general industry courses are accepted in New York.

Minimum OSHA Training Requirement in New York

New York requires at minimum the OSHA 10 Hour Training Course for all Department of Buildings (DOB) projects in NYC, both public and private projects. All certifications for this must be current to within 5 years of the project’s start date. These requirements went into effect July 18, 2008.

New York OSHA Training Reporting Requirements

If you’re an employer, you will need to submit proof of completion for the 10-hour course with the first certified payroll that you submit to the State. It’s not OK just to say that your workers have the appropriate OSHA training, you need to have proof. The proof can be the OSHA 10-hour card (often called a “10-hour wallet card” or it can be a certificate of attendance submitted by the company providing the training (they must be an OSHA accepted trainer).

New York does not maintain other requirements for OSHA Accepted training, but many employers do, so if you’re working construction (or even in general industry jobs), check with your employer.
