Fall Protection Training
OSHA requires that employers provide training for each employee that may be exposed to a fall hazard. Falls are a leading cause of construction related deaths each year and an average of over 4,000 OSHA Citations are issued to employers each year for the lack of protecting employees from a fall. Achieving fall protection calls for basic training for employees, constant vigilance from supervisors, and the use of protection systems.
Course Description:
At Safety Equipped, Inc., we believe that the best way to be certain that a fall does not occur is through employee Fall Hazard Training and taking the steps to prevent a fall from occurring at all.
This course consists of classroom study identifying fall hazards and methods of preventing falls, hands on demonstration of fall protection equipment including function, inspection and implementation of fall protection systems, interaction with students demonstrating the various
fall protection systems, and a written test to evaluate student competency.
