OHS Online Training & Certification Course

This course provides an overview of the hazards of performing work from heights and important information on how to work safely from them. Depending on the work being carried out, it may be necessary to complete site-specific or task-specific training in addition to general construction training.

Governing regulations.
This online Construction Fall Protection Safety training and certification course follows the regulations set forth in the Canada OHS Safety Standards, as well as Province and Territory specific regulations.

Who must take this course?
Working from heights is largely unavoidable in the construction industry, and can be very dangerous. Injuries and fatalities occur each year because construction workers were inadequately trained, didn't follow safety procedures, or used improper equipment when working from elevated heights. For this reason, safety training for each person working on a construction site is critical.
