FALL PROTECTION

When work is performed on elevated surfaces such as roofs, or during construction activities, protection against falls frequently must be considered.  Fall arresting systems, which include lifelines, body harnesses, and other associated equipment, are often used when fall hazards cannot be controlled by railings, floors, nets, and other means.  These systems are designed to stop a free fall of up to six feet while limiting the forces imposed on the wearer.
This training session covers the hazards associated with falling, the identification of fall hazards, and the use of fall protection systems.  The requirements of OSHA’s Fall Protection Standard are also discussed.

Who Should Train?
Mandatory annual training for all employees and supervisors who may work on elevated surfaces that are six feet or higher than their surroundings.
