Course Description

Why do you need a fall prevention course? The leading cause of death in the construction
industry is from falls. As a result construction workers must have fall protection when working
at a height of six feet or more. The 8 Hour Fall Prevention course provides training for workers
on how to recognize, avoid, minimize, and correct fall hazards on jobsites. The course will
cover fall hazards, competent person responsibilities, types of fall protection systems,
calculation of fall distances, and decide on proper anchorage points among other things.
This self-paced online training equips workers with the necessary knowledge to recognize,
avoid, and address fall hazards effectively on construction sites. Our online course is
accessible on any device, allowing learners to progress at their own pace. Upon successful
completion, participants automatically receive their certification via email, affirming their
competence in fall prevention.
