Course Contents

Fall protection is required for workers who work at three (3) metres (10 feet) or more above the nearest safe surface or water, above a surface or thing that could cause injury if the worker were to fall, or above an open pit, tank or vat containing a hazardous substance.

Fall protection includes a harness, net, rope, body belt, structure or other equipment and or device that will restrain a worker who is at risk of falling or stop a worker who has fallen. Any worker who uses fall protection is required to complete a fall protection training program prescribed by Workplace NL as outlined in Section 139 of the Newfoundland and Labrador Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2009.

Training initially must be a minimum of 16 hours in duration and consist of two components: 8 hours of theory and 8 hours of individualized practical training.
