Fall Protection Training

Fall Protection - Authorized Person:

The main objective of Authorized Person Fall Protection training is for workers to understand the mechanics and performance of each piece of equipment they are required to use on the job. Authorized Persons typically use pre-established fall protection systems and are not responsible for selecting anchorages or systems. The Authorized person knows how the equipment works but may not have the in-depth knowledge to determine what fall protection should initially be established.

Fall Protection - Competent Person:

The main objective of Competent Person Fall Protection training is for workers to understand the mechanics and performance of each piece of equipment they are required to use on the job. Competent Persons typically use pre-established fall protection systems and are often responsible for selecting anchorages or systems. The Competent Person knows how the equipment works and must have the skill and experience necessary to determine what fall protection should initially be established. Authorized persons usually work closely with competent persons or competent rescuers.

Fall Protection - Rescue:

An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is designed to guide workers in emergency rescue situations. The participants in this course shall have already successfully completed Authorized Person or Competent Person Fall Protection training. The main objective of rescue training is to develop an awareness level course designed to enable an Authorized or Competent Person to understand the Rescue or Emergency Action Plan.

Tower Climber Training:

Competent Tower Climber follows the industry recognized NATE Course Training Plan (CTP) and Course Training Standards (CTS) which specifically apply to the tower service industry and workers climbing on towers, antennas, and similar structure(s). Competent Tower Climbers must be able to recognize fall hazards and take corrective action.
