THE BEST FALL PROTECTION
TRAINING IS MADE UP OF 3
KEY ELEMENTS:
Awareness – this includes a
brief training session onsite
that provide a basic overview
of common fall hazards,
equipment, and how it can be
used. This part of the training
does not involve hands-on
practice or tests regarding the
knowledge trainees retain.

Authorized Person Training –
this is the second level of fall
protection training and it
involves keeping workers
compliant with OSHA
regulations. This phase of the
training is job specific which
means that it focuses on fall
hazards that are particular to
certain tasks.

Competent Person Training –
this phase of the training
covers a range of fall hazards
and is especially useful for
supervisors who need to
understand and applicable
standards. A competent person
has to have extensive training
since they should be able to
address any fall hazard issue.

They should also be able to
evaluate it and provide
solutions to prevent them in
the future. A competent
person should also be able to
determine whether workers
have all of the equipment they
need to stay safe from fall
hazards.

Besides providing fall
protection training that covers
all of the discussed elements,
employers should also keep
detailed records of each
session. These will come in
handy in court proceedings.

Accurate and detailed records
will prove that the employer
looked into the trainers before
hiring them. Documenting
worker attendance and dates
will also be in the employer’s
best interests.
