Benefits of Fall Prevention Training

Fall Protection was the most commonly cited OSHA violation from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2020, and it will likely be one of the top violations for years to come. OSHA's fall protection standard outlines multiple potential violations, including a lack of required safety mechanisms and improper use of fall protection equipment.

OSHA violations and a lack of fall protection training contribute to dangerous falls, the leading cause of death in the construction industry. To reduce the likelihood of fall-related accidents and deaths, workers should complete fall prevention training that is relevant to their industry.

Fall prevention training is one of the most effective ways to reduce jobsite injuries and fatalities. Adequate training also promotes safer work environments and employee behaviors, which can improve productivity.

Each course provides a digital Certificate of Completion, which you can immediately download after course completion.
