Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs fall protection training?

Requirements vary by industry. Training is required for anyone working at heights of 4 ft. (general industry), 5 ft. (shipyards), 6 ft. (construction), or 8 ft. (longshoring) while those in mines require training when there is any risk of falling.

Does this training include hands-on practice?

Yes. Participants practice inspecting, fitting, and using fall protection systems, including harnesses, lanyards, anchorage, and tie-off techniques.

What qualification will I receive?

Participants who complete the course earn a certificate of training, a wallet card, and documentation confirming fall protection qualification.

How long is the qualification valid?

Qualification is valid for 2 years. Employers may set earlier renewal requirements to meet site policies.

How does this training fit with site-specific fall protection plans?

This course provides the training and qualification required by OSHA, MSHA, and ANSI. Employers are still responsible for developing and enforcing site-specific fall protection plans, which this training supports but does not replace.
