DESCRIPTION

This two-day intermediate level course is designed for facility and site supervisors who must also serve as the competent person required by OSHA 1926.32(f), 1926.500 and 1910 standards. Participants are assigned tasks which require evaluation for fall hazards. The tasks are described using real-life site photos. The training provides more detailed coverage of the Fall Prevention & Protection Supervisor Training course materials and the following program topics. The course also supplies the participant with the knowledge and skills to perform the annual inspection and record keeping.

This course is based on American-driven content and will provide the fundamentals of the ABCs +R (Anchorage, Body Wear, Connecting Device, and Rescue). It will not include specific Canadian regulatory references based on provincial or territorial fall protection requirements. If you require a course that covers specific Canadian provincial legislations and examples, we do not cover that in this class.
