Thousands of construction workers in New York City holding Site Safety Training cards issued by Valor Consulting will need to undergo safety training from a different company in order to keep working as the city Dept. of Buildings disabled the cards and announced its intent to revoke the company’s status as an approved SST course provider.

Valor and six of its executives and employees are facing criminal charges announced by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in February. Prosecutors say the company ran a "sham" safety training school and issued SST cards without providing the training. Under the city’s Local Law 196, workers on large construction projects need at least 40 hours of safety training from a Buildings Dept.-approved provider.
