About the course
What this course covers.
Falls are one of the leading causes of workplace injury and death, and fall protection equipment only works if the person wearing it understands it - this course goes well beyond a basic overview into the mechanics of how each system actually works.
It covers fall hazards and the legislative reasons fall protection is required, how to choose an anchor, the five classes of full body harness, connecting hardware and devices, shock absorbers, and the real numbers behind fall protection: maximum arrest force, and calculating free fall distance and clearance.
It closes with the practical side: inspection and care, how to properly don a full body harness, and the basic requirements for a fall protection plan, rescue planning, and preventing suspension trauma.
