Managing construction projects in New York City comes with some of the strictest safety requirements in the industry — and one of the biggest challenges Contractors in New York City face is to stay compliant with Local Law 196 (LL196)
Under LL196, contractors must ensure that every worker and supervisor on qualifying sites has completed the required Site Safety Training (SST) hours — and that these training records are up to date, accurate, and available at all times.
The challenge? On busy construction sites with dozens of subcontractors and hundreds of workers, keeping track of who’s trained, who’s missing hours, and whose certifications might be expiring can quickly become overwhelming.
That’s where Boxcore comes in.
The Risk of Falling Behind on Training Compliance
Local Law 196 requires that:
– Workers have at least 40 Hours of Site Safety Training (SST)
– Supervisors have 62 Hours of SST
But across large, dynamic sites, staying on top of these requirements without the right tools can lead to problems like:
– Missed training renewals
– Expired SST cards slipping through the cracks
– Last-minute scrambles during DOB inspections
– Workers being stood down from site due to incomplete training
Ultimately, any gap in training compliance can mean costly project delays, DOB penalties, or reputational damage.
