2 Hour Site Safety Plan Course - Online
Course Code: SSP2
The 2-Hour Site Safety Plan course is designed to provide construction professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to create, review, and implement a compliant Site Safety Plan (SSP) as required by the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) and OSHA. The SSP serves as a critical document outlining safety procedures, hazard controls, emergency response protocols, and responsibilities for specific construction projects.
Participants will learn the required elements of an SSP, how to tailor safety measures to specific jobsite conditions, and how to maintain compliance throughout the project. The training covers hazard identification, control measures, regulatory requirements, and best practices for communication and documentation. By the end of the course, attendees will understand how to ensure that safety plans are practical, enforceable, and compliant.
This course covers the following topics:
- Prepare and maintain a Site Safety Plan that meets DOB and OSHA requirements.
- Identify project-specific hazards and determine appropriate control measures.
- Clearly define roles and responsibilities for site safety personnel.
- Include emergency response and evacuation procedures in the SSP.
- Update the plan as project conditions change.
- Ensure that the SSP is accessible to all workers and supervisors.
- Verify that all personnel are trained in plan requirements.
- Document plan revisions and compliance actions.
This course counts as 2 Hours of Prescribed credit toward your Site Safety Training (SST) card and is valid for 5 years from completion unless otherwise specified by the New York City Buildings Department.
