Fall Protection E-learning Course
This 4-hour online Fall Protection course has been developed to provide instruction on fall protection systems in a construction setting. The main topics covered will include fall protection systems, how to select fall protection measures, OSHA standards in relation to fall protection and inspection and maintenance of fall protection systems.
OSHA estimates that due to falls from elevations covered under subpart M, at least 68,000 injuries and 95 fatalities occur every year. One OSHA study of 99 fall-related fatalities suggests that virtually all of those deaths could have been prevented by the use of guardrails, body belts, body harnesses, safety nets, covers, or other means which would reduce employee exposure to the fall hazard.
Anyone wishing to complete this course must have high-speed internet access and a web camera.
