Description: Fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction employees, accounting for 320 of the 1,008 construction fatalities recorded in 2018 (BLS data). OSHA standards require employers to provide fall protection training for each employee who might be exposed to fall hazards. The intent of this course is to enable employees to recognize the hazards of falling and shall train each employee in the procedures to be followed in order to minimize these hazards. This Fall Protection Course includes, but is not limited to: establishing definitive parts of Personal Fall Arrest Systems (including body supports, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, rope grabs, and anchorage components), anchorage points (determination and suitability), arresting forces (limits, methods to reduce, etc.), and fall distances (limits, deceleration distances). This course also covers the usage of equipment including: ladder climbing systems, horizontal lifeline systems, rescue and retrieval systems, rope grab systems, self-retracting lifelines, and care/maintenance of fall protection equipment upon request.
