Description
This course is intended for workers who are or may be exposed to fall hazards in the workplace. It is designed to meet the training requirements of OSHA 1910 Subparts D and I of the General Industry standard. OSHA requires that employers must certify that workers are trained in the use of fall protection systems and must authorize them to utilize fall protection equipment in the workplace. This is why the title references "Authorized Persons". This training course is intended to provide students with a description of information, rules, regulations, and equipment necessary to perform work at heights when exposed to a fall hazard of four feet or more.
