The WORKING AT HEIGHTS training program has been implemented to try to eliminate injuries and deaths from falls, even from heights of no more than 2 meters.
As of April 1, 2015, the MINISTRY OF LABOUR requires that all employers ensure that their workers complete an approved working at heights training program before they can work at heights.
The GOAL of this training is to provide the basic knowledge needed to recognize and avoid hazards associated with working at heights. This training program will help prepare participants to 1) explain their rights and responsibilities when working at heights, 2) work at heights safely and in compliance with all required regulations, and 3) select, inspect, and use industry-standard personal fall arrest equipment, including a harness and lanyard.
Course Details & Objectives
The Working at Heights Training Program Standard has a modular format to allow for core theory training to be completed separately from practical training elements.
Both the Working at Heights Basic Theory module and the Working at Heights Practical Equipment Module are becoming mandatory for workers in the construction industry who use travel restraint systems, fall arrest systems or safety nets as a source of protection against fall hazards.
