Employees who conduct work at on elevated surfaces are exposed to fall hazards and are required to receive fall protection training. This course will aid in decreasing fall hazards by explaining the components of an effective fall protection program, training requirements, and emergency response. Personal fall-arrest systems, fall-restraint systems, and other fall-protection systems will be discussed, with general instructions on how to properly inspect and maintain equipment. Fall protection on ladders, scaffolds, and aerial platforms are also important topics covered in this course.

Additionally, this course highlights fall protection training for specific scenarios such as using ladders, scaffolds, and aerial platforms. Upon completion, students will have the option to purchase a fall protection training certificate.
