FALL PROTECTION TRAINING

Overview of OSHA Standard 

It is the employer's responsibility to establish and implement an effective fall protection program for the safety of their employees. OSHA mandates that all employers are responsible for fall protection training and documentation of training to all employees under the OSHA 29 CFR 1926 for the construction industry (SUBPART "R" steel erection) and (SUBPART "M" fall protection). Employers are also responsible for supplying all employees with the proper personal protective equipment (P.P.E.), as it is needed for each fall protection project. 

Course Description

Job-site training on fall protection along with hands-on demonstration and exercises, including evaluation of each trainee's ability to understand each fall protection system with competence in similar working conditions. Other exercises emphasized will be how to identify fall hazards, procedures for reducing hazards, responsibility of employees involved with the safety monitoring system, controlled access zones, a fall protection plan, and the specific OSHA standards. All training will be conducted by a competent safety professional. Retraining will take place when any changes occur, making the previous training obsolete.
