About the course
What this course covers.
A fall from height is one of the most common causes of serious workplace injury and death in Canada. Fall protection is the system that catches a worker, or stops the fall before it starts - but only if the worker understands prevention, restraint, and arrest, and uses the equipment correctly. This course delivers that understanding.
The course is CSA-compliant and built for both construction and general industry. It works through the fundamentals of fall prevention, restraint, and arrest, the equipment a system uses, how to inspect that equipment before every use, using fall protection in operation, the hazards it has to manage, and planning a rescue after a fall has happened.
The course is the classroom portion of fall protection training. On completion the worker receives a checklist the employer uses to observe them applying the training in the field. Companies use it to train workers before any work at height and to give a documented training record.

CSA-compliant and accepted by our prime contractor. The inspection and rescue sections are the parts that matter most.
