Fall Protection
Training
 Fall Protection regulations were amended effective June of
2002, to require any worker on a construction site exposed to a fall hazard, to
receive proper fall protection training. This includes 100% of all personnel
who enter a construction site.
The reason for fall protection training is simple; falls are the single largest
contributor to construction fatalities (deaths). Therefore more training should
reduce the number of construction workers getting killed due to falls.
Fall protection program is comprised of 2 parts:
-
Fall Prevention
-
Fall Arrest
Fall Prevention is just what the term implies, we
explore different ways workers are falling, and discuss basic safety procedures
on how to prevent these types of falls. Examples of fall prevention includes;
proper use of ladders, proper scaffold erection, properly built guardrails,
floor covers, working from scissor lifts and travel restraint procedures.
Fall Arrest refers to the wearing of a harness, we discuss proper
fitting procedures, the different types equipment used, and all participants
must demonstrate they can properly adjust and wear a harness.
This training session takes approximately 3.5 hours to complete.
