What is Fall Protection Training?
Fall Protection Training is an online safety course that teaches workers how to identify common fall hazards in the workplace, understand the importance of fall protection, and properly use fall protection systems, equipment, and safe work practices to help prevent falls from elevated work locations. The course also covers equipment inspection, proper storage procedures, and fall rescue planning.
Falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry and a major cause of workplace injuries across many industries. This training is best for workers who perform tasks at heights or near unprotected edges, openings, or elevated surfaces. Upon successful completion, students receive a Certificate of Completion as proof of training.
