Fall Protection Plan Course
Fall Protection Plan Course Outline
This training program is designed for both novice and experienced learners who may be expected to assess a worksite for work at height and prepare a fall protection plan while performing their daily duties.
It also makes good business sense that employees who are expected to supervise these related activities should know what the correct procedures are so that they are competent to identify good, bad, safe or unsafe practices during the course of their supervision day / shift.
