Fall Protection Training

Hands-on training that gives your crews the knowledge and skills to work safely at height and meet OSHA training requirements.

Training that keeps crews safe and compliant.

Equipment only protects workers who know how to use it. OSHA requires employers to train every employee who might be exposed to a fall hazard, and the training must be given by a qualified person.

Onsite Safety trains residential and commercial crews to recognize hazards, inspect and use fall protection equipment correctly, and understand their role on the jobsite.

FAQs

Answers to common questions from contractors and jobsite safety teams.

  • Who is required to have fall protection training?

    OSHA's construction standard requires employers to provide training for each employee who might be exposed to fall hazards. The training must be taught by a competent person qualified in the subject.

  • Does OSHA issue a fall protection certification?

    No. OSHA does not certify workers. Employers must keep a written certification record that lists the worker's name, the training dates and the trainer's or employer's signature. Onsite Safety provides documentation for your records.



  • When is retraining needed?

    OSHA requires retraining when workplace changes or new fall protection systems make earlier training out of date, or when a worker's knowledge or use of the equipment shows gaps.

  • Can training be customized to our jobsite?

    Yes. We can focus on the systems, equipment and hazards your crew actually works with. Contact us to discuss your needs.
