NEPIRC’s fall protection training will provide the instruction needed to ensure the safety of those working at elevated heights. Fall protection must be provided for each employee on a walking/working surface with an unprotected side or edge at the height required by the OSHA standard applicable to their workplace. In general industry, the elevated height level is four feet or more above a lower level. In the construction industry, OSHA mandates employers to implement fall prevention measures and prevent falling objects whenever the employee is six feet or higher above a lower level.
Participants will learn about such topics as:
• Correct ladder use and inspections
• Roof top access, harnesses and tie off requirements
• Eliminating the need for fall protection
• Safety equipment inspections
• Fall prevention and fall recovery plans
• Hazard recognition and methods to protect themselves
This program is taught by NEPIRC’s Authorized OSHA Outreach Trainer and is eligible for WEDnetPA funding.
