8 Hour Fall Protection Hazard Awareness Training Course

about

Historically, falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry, accounting for nearly one-third of all fatalities. OSHA realizes that incidents involving falls are generally complex events that are usually the result of multiple contributing factors.

As a result we have developed an in-depth 8 hour fall protection training program that will prepare all individuals for the hazards they may face in the construction industry.

This course is designed for construction workers, competent persons, safety officers and construction owners. This course will teach students the OSHA and state requirements for fall protection safety and how to avoid and prevent falling hazards.

Site Safety Training (SST) Card – Fall Protection Requirement

In New York City’s recently amended administrative code regarding construction safety, all construction workers will be required to have a site safety training card. These cards are only issued when certain requirements are met, one of which is 8 SST credits relating to safeguarding against the dangers posed by falling workers and objects. These credits may be obtained by completing an 8 hour fall protection awareness course.
