Fall Protection Training
Course Description
This "FALL PROTECTION" program is designed to train employees how to recognize and respect potential fall hazards in their work place. The course will also provide them with an understanding of the proper use and care of personal fall protection equipment, with an emphasis on fall arrest systems. We will discuss the importance of a pro-active safety attitude in preventing work place falls. Since falls are the second leading cause of death in the work place, we feel that employees with the proper training and equipment can help to reduce this staggering statistic.
