This comprehensive webinar offers attendees a valuable refresher on fall protection in the workplace, with a focus on both general industry and construction environments. The session will begin with an overview of the history of fall protection and key statistics that highlight the importance of robust safety measures. Participants will explore the hierarchy of controls, including hazard elimination, engineering controls, and administrative strategies for fall prevention. The roles and responsibilities of both a “competent person” and a “qualified person” will be clearly defined and differentiated. The webinar will also cover best practices through a review of essential do’s and don’ts, key equipment components, and the physics of falls, helping attendees understand how to calculate total fall distances accurately. Real-world examples of fall protection hazard recognition will be examined, enhanced by select videos and photographs that illustrate specific points and underscore critical safety lessons.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify key historical developments that demonstrate the significance of fall protection in general industry and construction settings.
• Explain the hierarchy of controls for fall prevention, hazard elimination, engineering solutions, and administrative strategies in the workplace.
• Differentiate between the qualifications of a “competent person” and a “qualified person” in the context of fall protection programs.
• Analyze fall hazards and protection scenarios using best practices, equipment knowledge and fall distance calculations, supported by real-world examples.
