On December 9th – 13th we will be hosting our Advanced Fall Protection for Leadership course and we hope you’ll join us.
Suitable for all leaders including supervisors, instructors, safety professionals & management who direct and implement a fall protection program in their work place.
Explained from the workers point of view, this course is an in-depth practical analysis of using fall protection equipment, properly, safely & efficiently. It is more than a “safety course” and will go beyond reciting regulations and explore real world effective solutions for working at height.
This 5-day intensive hands on problem-solving program meets and exceeds the Workplace-NL requirements for fall protection training. Small student instructor ratio will allow for class discussion and participation in a wide range of practical exercises. Strong emphasis will be placed on proper equipment selection, use, and fall protection planning.
Participants will receive two certificates following the program. Workplace-NL Compliant Fall Protection Training & Advanced Fall Protection for Leadership
A short list of topics includes:
- Working at height & protecting the worker from falls
- Regulations and Standards
- Developing a comprehensive work at height hazard assessment
- Fall protection hierarchy of controls
- Effective Fall Restraint Techniques
- Work Positioning
- Equipment Selection
- Planning for Work at Height

- Work at Height Emergency Response Plan Risk Assessments

- Further your understanding of job requirements through intense hands on practical

An essential component of leadership is the ability to mentor and instruct. Requiring participants to verbally explain various components of work at height and how each is linked to each other is valuable in assessing competency. Throughout this course, instructional techniques will be discussed and students will have the opportunity to demonstrate skills learned in the program.
Our focus during this program is on understanding. The goal of leadership is to educate and help co-workers understand. Students in this program need not only to show how something is done but also explain why it is done in a particular way as part of the competency assessment process. So, a portion of this workshop will be reviewing a variety of strategies we can use to help adults understand. This will also help prepare those who are choosing to instruct training in their organizations.
The potential efficiencies uncovered during this week of training will provide our participants with significant value in their roles.
