Your job may often require you to work at elevated locations. Having appropriate fall protection in these situations is vital. Otherwise, you could find yourself plummeting toward serious injury. Employees must understand the regulations and be proactive in protecting themselves from any potential injuries. In this interactive, online course, we'll introduce you to the OSHA Fall Protection standard under 29 CFR, 1910. We will review situations where fall protection is needed, and discuss the basic means by which fall protection can be achieved. We'll also look at a specific kind of personal fall protection: a personal fall arrest system. Finally, we'll discuss how to properly select, use, and care for a personal fall arrest system.

Note: This course offers subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish.
