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.

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.
