Slips, Trips, and Falls Prevention

Fall Protection is a critical safety course for any worker operating at elevation, where the risk of falls is present. This training is mandatory in many provinces under Occupational Health and Safety regulations and is a vital component of worksite compliance. Falls from heights remain one of the leading causes of workplace injury and death, particularly in construction, maintenance, and utility industries.

This comprehensive awareness course from TradeCerts introduces the principles and practices of fall prevention, equipment usage, and emergency planning. It is ideal for workers who are new to elevated work or those in need of periodic recertification on hazard awareness and fall arrest systems.

Key topics include:
– The science and impact of falls
– Fall protection hierarchy (elimination, prevention, arrest)
– Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS) and components
– Harness fitting, inspection, and maintenance
– Guardrails, travel restraints, and safety nets
– Anchor systems and tie-off techniques
– Rescue planning and post-fall response

Upon course completion, learners will receive a certificate demonstrating fall hazard awareness. While not a replacement for full practical certification where required, it fulfills most employer-level onboarding requirements.

Ideal for: construction workers, roofing contractors, solar panel installers, tower workers, and scaffolding crews.
