GHB Fall Protection Training Courses

Fall Protection Training From GHB Fall Protection

No matter the industry, proper workplace fall protection begins with documented, comprehensive training. Because there are so many factors that affect workplace fall hazards, it is important for you and your staff to be knowledgeable about the required personal protective equipment, operation of fall arrest equipment, applications for fall protection equipment, and applicable OSHA and ANSI procedures and requirements. GHB Fall Protection is proud to provide detailed, interactive training services to your staff on each of these fall protection basics to clients.

OSHA “Authorized User” Fall Protection Training

ANSI Z359.2-2007 & OSHA establishes requirements for an employer’s fall protection program, which include proper training of “authorized persons” to ensure that those designated employees have an understanding of policies and procedures for proper use of fall protection and rescue systems. Authorized persons are to be trained to properly use, inspect and maintain their fall protection equipment.

Training from GHB Fall Protection not only prepares employees and management to understand and properly utilize all installed fall protection equipment, but provides adequate training for your employees as the OSHA-required “authorized users”
