NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) Commissioner Jimmy Oddo said the department intends to revoke the DOB-approved course provider status of Brooklyn-based Valor Consulting, a company that previously provided OSHA and Site Safety Training (SST) courses to local construction workers. The move follows a criminal indictment filed in Manhattan court against Valor senior executives and employees accused of selling SST identification (ID) cards to workers without providing any of the required safety training. More than 17,000 active SST ID cards issued as a result of Valor training certificates have been deactivated, and those with these cards are no longer allowed to work on larger and more complex jobsites in NYC until they acquire a new SST ID card from a legitimate DOB-approved course provider.
