Notes
New York State does not require a statewide individual ironworker license. New York City, however, requires a Site Safety Training (SST) card and certain workers may need specific certifications through the NYC Department of Buildings. Workers typically train through union apprenticeships with Ironworkers locals. Verify locally at nyc.gov/buildings for NYC requirements.
