Steps
Pull the DOB's '16-Hour Suspended Scaffold User' course-requirement PDF for exact scope and audience.
Confirm this course targets workers who use (ride/operate) suspended scaffolds, distinct from the 32-hour Supervisor course required for the Special Rigger license itself.
Check whether this course is a standalone DOB requirement for on-site workers versus a Special Rigger license prerequisite — the two 32-hour/16-hour courses serve different populations.
Identify current DOB-approved providers for the 16-hour course.
Cross-check NYC Building Code supervision provisions (BC 3314.3.2) to confirm what level of on-site supervision a 16-hour-trained user still requires from a licensed Rigger or designated foreman.
Known gotchas
A worker holding only the 16-hour User course is NOT qualified to supervise or hold a Special Rigger license — don't imply course completion substitutes for licensure.
NYC-specific — this course has no bearing outside New York City; don't apply it to a job in another state.
