The program provides each employee the ability to recognize the hazards of falling and then provide solutions to minimize these hazards. This interactive session provides participants with an understanding and detailed hands-on practice for all types of fall protection including conventional fall protection such as guardrails, nets, hole covers and personal fall arrest.

In addition un-conventional fall protection such as Controlled Access zones, Warning Lines, Safety Monitors, Written Fall Protection Plans, etc… are covered.
