Fall Protection & Prevention Training
Description
Employers in Saskatchewan are responsible for conducting a hazard assessment, identifying the fall hazards in a workplace and implementing measures and safe work procedures that eliminate, reduce or control the identified risk.

This course meets provincial legislative standards and references CSA standards for Fall Protection. Participants inspect and don a fall arrest harness during this class.
