Having been employed in the fall protection industry for the past 20 years, there is nothing that I enjoy more than training end-users. Their interaction has provided me with some of the best stories and insights in how they went about addressing their fall hazards. Whether I am providing 1hr. instruction or 2 day certification training, I make it a point to ask and discuss the following 10 point key points noted below. When these questions are asked to a group during training, regardless of their industry, the responses are split. Your exposed workers are no different and this webinar will provide you with best practice in how to answer these questions.
- Is it enough to just wear fall protection equipment?
- What is the first thing an end-user thinks of when they hear the words” fall protection”?
- What is the ability of a worker to react during a fall event?
- Why don’t workers exposed to falls use fall protection
- How long can a worker keep suspended in a harness waiting for rescue?
- Is a rescue plan required? Does it have to be written?
- How often does fall protection training need to be provided?
- What is the number one thing that starts the chain of events in a fall?
- Are your rescue workers trained in suspension trauma?
- Does fall protection need to be 100%? Is it?
