WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF NOT COMPLETING THE SST TRAINING?

​

Permit holders must certify workers have the required training. A DOB inspector may levy fines up to $15,000 per untrained worker:

• $5,000 for the owner

• $5,000 for the permit holder

• $5,000 for the employer
   

The Law also requires permit holders maintain a log of trained workers or face fines up to $2,500.

The DOB is planning unannounced site checks where untrained workers have been found and will target other jobs of permit holders with past violations!
