COURSE OVERVIEW

Fall Protection Systems awareness training illustrates the different types of systems, under what conditions must a system be put in place, and how to be protected from objects that fall from above.

Additional topics include body belts, working positioning systems, and travel restraint systems. Learners will gain an awareness of their surroundings and understand which personal fall protection system best suits work being performed.

An interactive simulation allows the learner to explore a construction environment in a high-rise building and identify potential hazards and missing fall protection systems.
