Falls are the second leading cause of death in the workplace. With the proper training and equipment, those deaths from falling could have been prevented. The objective of this Summit program, "Fall Protection: Taking Control," is to train your employees to recognize potential fall hazards in their work place and provide them with an understanding of the proper use and care of personal fall protection equipment, with an emphasis on fall arrest systems. The program also discusses the importance of a pro-active safety attitude in preventing work place falls (Certification Period: Permanent).

Each year, on average, between 150 and 200 workers are killed and more than 100,000 injured because of falls at construction sites. OSHA’s construction industry safety standard for fall protection 29 CFR,Subpart M, outlines systems and procedures designed to prevent employees from falling off, onto, or through working levels and to protect employees from being struck by falling objects. Here, we outline the basics and provide some “do’s” and “don’ts” for novices and those who need a refresher course. OSHA recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers. Workers must receive additional training, when required by OSHA standards, on the specific hazards of their job. Please note: This course is not a part of the OSHA 10 Hour Construction Program.

Fall Protection provides you with a look at the work conditions that require the use of fall protection and the available options to protect employees from falls. By taking this course, you will be able to identify fall protection methods available for protecting employees; the basic conditions that trigger the use of fall protection for employees in the general industry; and the importance of good work practices and training. Implementing each of these elements in your workplace will ensure that employees are protected from fall hazards whether four feet or forty feet from the ground.

Panic hardware is an exit device that is required by law in public places for reasons of life safety. The hardware, when properly installed, is designed to release a door’s latching bolt when the actuating bar is depressed allowing occupants of a building to exit, particularly in an emergency situation, to exit with ease and without incident regarding the door’s ability to open. Students in this course will learn the purpose, basic types, terminology, and installation of panic hardware.
