About the course
What this course covers.
This course is built specifically to OSHA's fall protection requirements for US worksites, which differ from the Canadian CSA-based fall protection framework in places. Companies with operations or crews crossing into the US need this OSHA-specific version rather than a CSA-compliant Canadian course.
It covers the hierarchy of fall protection - prevention, restraint, then arrest as a last resort - and the equipment and anchor requirements for each. Free fall distance, deceleration devices, and rescue planning are all covered in the OSHA context specifically.
Companies use this course to document OSHA-compliant fall protection training for workers operating on US worksites or for US-regulated general industry facilities.
