Fall Protection Training
Our Fall Protection course is essential for individuals working at heights. It covers topics such as fall hazards, equipment selection and usage, and rescue techniques. By enrolling in this course, participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to prevent falls and ensure workplace safety.
Falling is a significant hazard on many work sites and is a leading cause of worker fatalities in the construction industry. While anyone working at height will have a certain amount of risk of falling, the risk can be decreased through the use of proper safety equipment and fall protection training.
