Fall Protection Awareness

This Online Fall Arrest Protection Course will guide you through all aspects of Fall Arrest, from the different types of Fall Protection to what PPE (personal protective equipment) to use and how to calculate Fall Clearances. Our comprehensive course will explain in detail what you need to know, emphasize key points and test your knowledge retention after each module. This course is required by many industries and you should check with your employer to see whether or not you need Fall Arrest Protection Training. Doing both theory and practical on-site training shows that the employer is doing their “Due Diligence” and they will comply with Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
