What you are going to learn

This online certification course meets the requirements for fall protection training in the state of California. It covers important OSHA safety training standards including applicable regulations, injury statistics, common slip/trip/fall hazards, key safety practices and mindsets, and requirements for personal protective equipment.

Slipping, tripping, and falling are leading causes of injury and death for workers in the construction industry-and yet these injuries are some of the easiest to prevent. Worker awareness of risk and adherence to safety regulations are proven ways to keep workers safe.

Who This Course is For

Case Study: A framer with a building company was working on a two-story residential building, and starting to form the walls for the second floor. Another employee had laid 2-inch by 4-inch boards flat on the floor to measure and mark them. The framer stepped onto an unsupported board that was hanging over the unprotected edge of the second floor, causing him to fall 12.5 feet to the floor below. He was taken by ambulance to the nearest medical center, where he was hospitalized for 19 days for treatment of bilateral pulmonary contusions, multiple rib fractures, a left radial head fracture, and lacerations.

Key Takeaways: A fall does not have to be from a tall building to cause serious and even life-threatening injuries, as this case study illustrates. A guardrail or safety net around the edge of the second floor, or the use of personal fall protection, could easily have prevented this man's suffering and missed work time. It is also important for employers to educate workers about safe work practices and about staying alert to avoid the creation of additional hazards - in this case, the hanging board.

California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), more commonly known as Cal/OSHA, sets and enforces standards pertaining to construction fall protection. Regulations regarding construction fall protection training can be found in Title 8 of California's Code of Regulations (CCR). There are several subsections that cover California OSHA guidelines in this safety training, such as;

1610, Cranes and derricks
1620, Guard rails
1669, General fall protection
1670, Personal fall arrest systems
1671, Safety nets, fall protection plans, and controlled access zones
1710, Steel structure erection
1724, 1730, and 1731, Roofing operations
