Fall Protection in Industrial Workplaces

This applies to work sites such as large scale industrial construction projects, light industry and heavy industry – in categories like oil drilling & rigs; shipping, shipyards & marine terminals; machine & facility maintenance; and many other industrial settings involving working at heights and a risk of injury due to falls.

A fall protection plan is a set of specific steps that must be followed in the event of a worker falling from a high altitude. In order to be in compliance with occupational health and safety laws, this plan will need to be developed and the employees trained on the execution of the plan before any work at heights can begin. Our course covers how to develop, implement and manage your fall protection plan.

Our fall protection certification is valid for three years, however employers can set their own expiration criteria. This means you may need to take a refresher or recertification course more frequently than three years. Even if you are certified, you will need further training if the fall protection equipment that is used in your workplace changes, or if you are found to be not fully competent in the use of the fall protection equipment in your workplace.
