Construction Fall Protection Training & Certification
29 CFR 1926 Subpart M Fall Protection (1926.500-503) Safety Training
The leading cause of death in the construction industry is from falls. As a result construction workers must have fall protection when working at a height of six feet or more.
In addition employers are to provide a Fall Protection training program to all construction workers who might be exposed to fall hazards - § 1926.503(a)(1).
Retraining is required when the employer has reason to believe an employee who has already been trained does not have the understanding and skill required.
