Introduction
Module 1: Fall Protection Systems
An overview of the various types of available fall protection systems and their use. Along with a detailed explanation of the personal fall arrest system (PFAS) as a means of controlling (or stopping) a worker falling from an elevated level, such as when working on a scaffold or on a roof. Lessons will also explain the role of anchorage in a PFAS and the considerations for its selection and use. As well discuss the different types of connectors used in a PFAS, and describe the role of a deceleration device in minimizing the impact of a fall.

Frequently Asked Questions
According to OSHA’s Fall Protection Standard for the Construction Industry (29 CFR 1926 Subpart M), any time work is carried out at a height of 6 feet or more, employers must provide adequate fall protection systems, and workers must be trained to use these systems safely and effectively.
Proper fall protection training can go a long way toward safeguarding workers' health and safety and protecting them when working at heights. Fall protection training can be categorized into four levels: awareness, authorized user, competent person, and qualified person. According to OSHA, employers are responsible for providing workers exposed to fall hazards with appropriate fall protection training. This fall protection training educates workers to recognize fall hazards and how to minimize them.
- Managers, supervisors, and workers who must work on overhead platforms, elevated workstations, or over dangerous equipment or machinery as part of their job duties.
- Workers who work at heights doing roofing work, leading-edge work, painting, or bricklaying on high walls, or working on walkways and excavations.
There is no specific requirement under OSHA that requires refresher training for this course. However, many employers and safety professionals still prefer to conduct periodic refresher training, particularly in workplaces where employees work at heights. Although it is not legally required, refresher training is strongly recommended as an industry best practice, especially in active facilities.
