Frequently Asked Questions
This course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements outlined in 29 CFR 1926.502(d) for Construction and 29 CFR 1910.140 for General Industry.
This course covers ANSI/ASSP Z359.11, which establishes requirements for the design, testing, performance, and labeling of full-body harnesses.
A body harness is a personal fall protection device that comprises interconnected straps meant to distribute the forces during falls evenly on the thighs, pelvis, waist, chest, and shoulders. There are specific attachment points, such as a dorsal D-ring, where the harness can be linked to other components of personal fall protection equipment.
This body harness training is important as it:
- Gives knowledge necessary for appropriate selection, usage, and maintenance of full body harnesses.
- Helps to enhance skills of donning, adjusting, inspecting, and doffing a harness.
- Enables workers to identify damage, inappropriate sizing, and unsafe use practices which could cause additional risks when using body harness fall protection.
- Promotes appropriate harness fall protection practices and ensures proper harness usage.
- Includes information about OSHA fall protection requirements and ANSI/ASSP Z359.11 full body harness requirements.
- Developed by professionals who have practical knowledge of fall protection and harness usage.
- A certificate of completion provided upon successful course completion, confirming your knowledge of proper harness usage, inspections, and maintenance.
- Available in different delivery formats: self-paced online training, virtual instructor-led training, and classroom training.
- Employees who use full-body harnesses as part of their work.
- Safety professionals, supervisors, and Competent Persons overseeing fall protection.
- Construction and General Industry employees doing tasks that require fall protection.
- Employees who are involved in the selection, inspection, maintenance, or monitoring of full-body harnesses.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
OSHA does not specify a fixed refresher interval for full-body harness training. Retraining is required when workers lack the necessary knowledge or skills to perform work safely, or when there is a change in workplace or equipment making previous training obsolete.
Certificate of Completion: Immediately after passing the final exam, you can download, save, or print your OSHA Full-Body Harness Training certificate in PDF format.
