​Ensure your supervisors have the knowledge and tools to keep those who work at heights in your organization healthy and safe.
Course Description:
Supervisors are often tasked with coaching employees on the proper use of fall protection and the related techniques, but are only provided the same level of training as front line workers. This program changes that. It conveys information that will result in supervisors that are able to confidently advise and evaluate employees.
Upon completion of this program, each participant will be able to demonstrate the following skills:
  • Recognize fall protection hazards.
  • Design and critique fall protection plans.
  • Implement the hierarchy of fall protection and implement best-practice solutions to fall protection hazards.
  • Apply relevant legislation and standards to assigned work tasks and procedures, and recognize any non-compliance.
  • Recognize misuse of fall protection equipment.
  • Demonstrate and evaluate others in the proper use of fall protection equipment including proper donning of a full body harness.
  • Competently inspect fall protection equipment including soft goods, hard goods, anchorage connectors,  guardrails,  barriers and control zones. (This does not include re-certification of self retracting devices.)
  • Assess the need for on-site emergency response preparation for prompt rescue in reaction to potential orthostatic intolerance and reflow syndrome.
  • Understand the need for competent supervision in fall protection.
Note: There is a take-home practical component to this course to be completed after the classroom session. A guide and form of evaluation is provided which, when completed is submitted to the Saskatchewan Safety Council within 90 days of course completion

The practical exercise requires that each participant:
  • Evaluates a minimum of 3  individuals in the safe use of fall protection equipment  
  • Reviews and critiques a fall protection plan. 
  • Completes an inspection record for a piece of fall protection equipment (harness, lanyard or anchorage connector)
