Working At Heights
Did you know that in 2015, Ontario companies spent $52M compensating workplace fall injuries? Working At Heights training can reduce this number, and, most importantly, protect the worker.
In November 2015, CTV News Kitchener reported that a man was in critical condition after falling 15 metres at a construction site in Waterloo. In May 2016, CBC News reported that another man suffered serious injuries after falling four stories at a construction site in Toronto. Unfortunately, fall injuries are more common than many people think.
The ACUTE Working At Heights program is approved by the Chief Prevention Officer under the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development’s Working At Heights Training Program Standard and the Working At Heights Training Provider Standard.

Information
Fall Arrest Training vs. Working At Heights Training
Understanding the difference between fall arrest training and Working At Heights training is important, especially if you work in the construction sector. Receiving proper, hands-on training for your job is the best way to prevent accidents, injuries, and deaths.
According to Canada’s Occupational Health & Safety Magazine, over 40,000 Canadians are injured each year due to fall accidents. This is why proper training is so important. Some WAH courses are also labelled as fall arrest training. This can be confusing. The two most important questions to ask are:
- Does my workplace specifically require CPO approved Working At Heights training?
- Is the course I am about to take fall arrest training or WAH? Is it labelled as fall arrest training but is a CPO approved WAH course? Is it called Working At Heights but is not CPO approved?
