Fall Protection

Many lost-time injuries result from falls in the workplace. Employers are responsible for ensuring workers are protected from all potential fall hazards.

It is essential for workers to understand the risks associated with working at heights, as well as the proper use, application, and limitations of fall protection systems designed to prevent falls.

This course provides users of fall protection equipment with the knowledge needed to assess the job site, identify hazards, and select the appropriate fall protection system when working at heights.

The training includes both theoretical instruction and a hands-on demonstration covering proper inspection of harnesses and lanyards, as well as correct procedures for donning and doffing. Course content aligns with multiple CSA Standards related to fall protection.
