NYC SST - General Elective: 1-Hour First Aid And CPR

On construction sites, a number of emergency scenarios may arise.

Local Law 196 of 2017 (LL196) in New York City mandates that employees and supervisors undergo safety training if their sites have a construction supervisor, site safety coordinator, or site safety manager.

It emphasizes the significance of first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, how to identify and treat common workplace injuries, and preventive measures that may help create a safe and healthy work environment. This is a purely awareness-raising exercise. This course does not qualify trainees to give first aid or CPR.

Construction sites can present a variety of emergency situations. While most injuries and sudden illnesses do not require lifesaving efforts, all workers and supervisors should know the basics of first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In New York City, Local Law 196 of 2017 (LL196) requires that workers and supervisors receive safety training if their sites designate a construction supervisor, site safety coordinator, or site safety manager. Once fully phased-in, this law mandates that workers at certain worksites receive 40 hours of safety training and supervisors receive 62 hours of safety training. NYC SST - General Elective: 1-Hour First Aid and CPR is an awareness-level online course designed for construction workers and supervisors preparing to earn a Site Safety Training Card (SST).
