Course Overview

This comprehensive Fall Arrest Training course provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills required for using fall protection equipment and implementing fall arrest systems when working at height. The course covers fundamental fall protection principles along with hands-on techniques for equipment selection, inspection procedures, and emergency response protocols.


Participants will learn to apply OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 Fall Protection Systems Criteria and Practices, ANSI Z359 Fall Protection and Fall Arrest Standard, CSA Z259 Body Belts and Safety Harnesses, NFPA 1983 Standard on Life Safety Rope and Equipment, and EN 361 Personal Protective Equipment Against Falls from a Height to ensure comprehensive fall protection and regulatory compliance. This course combines theoretical fall protection concepts with practical hands-on training and real-world application scenarios to ensure participants gain valuable skills applicable to their workplace environment while emphasizing personal safety and equipment reliability.
