Worker Wallet Information

Upon completion of a Worker training course, Registered Course Providers issue wallet sized cards to their students.  These cards are used by construction workers as proof of their qualifications to work on certain construction equipment, such as scaffolds. A Registered Course Provider must issue a Worker Wallet card using the Training Connect platform when a student completes worker certification courses. The Worker Wallet allows individuals to have multiple cards in their wallet and eliminates the need for workers to carry several cards.  The Worker Wallet can be scanned and validated using the Training Connect Application, to reveal what cards are saved in their Worker Wallet.

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Worker Wallet will be the ONLY worker Card accepted on NYC job sites. It will replace the following individual Worker Cards:

  • Mast Climber User/ Operator
  • Climber/Tower Crane Rigger
  • Rigging Worker
  • Rigging Supervisor
  • Periodic Gas Piping Inspector
  • Supported Scaffold User
  • Supported Scaffold Installer & Remover
  • Suspended Scaffold Supervisor
  • Suspended Scaffold User

Please note: The Worker Wallet does not replace the Site Safety Training (SST) card.
