Fall Protection Awareness Training - An Overview 

Falls continue to be one of the major causes of severe injuries within industries, and medical issues extend beyond construction site boundaries. As per the CDC, more than 14 million elderly people fall every year. The same hazards occur in the workplace, particularly for employees working at heights. Our fall protection awareness training employs a targeted strategy to prevent these accidents from occurring. This course educates workers to identify fall dangers and take proactive actions to prevent them. Participants will learn how to recognize unsafe working surfaces, evaluate structural hazards, and install effective protective systems such as guardrails, harnesses, and personal fall arrest systems. The course addresses best practices in ladder safety, scaffold usage, and platform stability.
