Fall Protection Training Kitchener: Get the best from ACUTE

Fall Protection Training Kitchener

As an employer, you are required to ensure your staff has the right training for the job that they are doing. That includes making sure that they receive proper fall protection training if they are working at heights.  The best training should:

• Cover all the necessary content to keep your workers safe
• Have an experienced trainer that can point out risks before they become issues
• Have plenty of hands-on training
• Use the right equipment appropriate for the particular situation

Fall Protection Training – Quick Tips

Fall Protection training should not be confused with Working at Heights training. ACUTE’s Working at Heights (WAH) training course includes many practical components, including fall protection training. If you are looking for WAH and fall protection training, here are some quick tips that you should know.

If You Are a Construction Worker and You Use Fall Equipment, WAH Is Mandatory:

Ontario Regulation 213/91 – Construction Projects governs construction work, including working at heights. Working At Heights training is mandatory for any construction project workers who use any of the following methods of fall equipment:

• A travel restraint system
• A fall restricting system
• A fall arrest system
• A safety net
• A work belt
• A safety belt

Even if You Are not Required to Take WAH Training, It May Still Be Useful:

If WAH training is not required for your job, you may still find it very useful for working in your industry. For example, if you work in the industrial, mining, or health care sectors, you may find WAH course content helpful for your field. For these and other settings fall protection training may also be beneficial. Speak with your training provider to determine which is best for your workplace.

Working at Heights training includes fall protection training

A Refresher WAH Is Required after 3 Years

WAH training lasts for three years. After that, a refresher training course is required.

You Must be trained on the New WAH Standards

There are new WAH training standards in Ontario. All workers must be trained on new WAH standards.

You Must Take a Chief Prevention Officer-Approved WAH Course

You must complete a training course that is CPO (Chief Prevention Officer)-approved – the course itself must be CPO-approved, as well as the training provider. (Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development Source) Workers cannot take just any WAH/fall protection training. ACUTE’s WAH and fall protection course are both CPO approved.

You Need to Understand the Fall Prevention Hierarchy

There are many types of fall protection, including guardrails, fall restraint systems, fall protection systems, and safe work procedures. Understanding the fall protection hierarchy is important.

Online Training VS Hands-On

Online fall protection or working at heights training may seem appealing, as it’s easy, convenient, and quick. However, there are many limitations with online training. Learning how you can stay safe on the job is more than just reading the legislation or watching instructional videos.

Benefits of Hands-On Training

Practical, hands-on training is the best way to keep everyone safe on the job. Here are some facts about online training:

• Higher Quality Training: Online training has been proven to provide a lower quality of translatable work experience and makes it more difficult for workers to retain the information they receive. You will receive a much higher quality of training when you are doing it hands-on.
• Save Your Money in the Long Run: Online working at heights may appear to be quicker and cheaper; but with accidents, injuries, retraining, and rehiring costs; the total cost of training online may end up costing more in the end than hands-on training.
• CPO-approved: If you provide or complete training that was not offered by an approved provider, the training is not equivalent and will not meet labour requirements. Your company could face fines and your professionals will not be adequately trained. ACUTE’s fall protection training is CPO-approved and it takes place in our world-class training facility, so you will have lots of hands-on practice.
