Fall Arrest Training

Fall Protection Qualification

A harness only works if it is inspected, worn correctly and tied to an anchor that can hold the fall. This fall protection training online covers personal fall arrest from the ground up, including the clearance math that tells you whether you would hit the ground before the system stops you.
