OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and it is under the department of labour. The mission is to protect the safety and health of American workers.  OSHA 30 NYC offers the class and certificate needed to work in construction and protect your health and safety at the New York Safety and Training.

We offer OSHA 30 hour training in locations throughout the city as well as on site training. We have classes multiple times a month in English and Spanish.

The deadline to receive OSHA 30 in NYC is December 1, 2019 according to NYC Department of Buildings.
