Fall protection training is required for construction workers and supervisors who work at elevation. The Competent Person for Fall Protection course offered by NET provides an overview of fall protection methods and teaches employees to use fall protection systems in construction settings.

Warning icon

This course covers the aspects for a competent person as required by OSHA standards and helps employees understand the concept of fall protection and how it applies to the construction industry. While this course may be used to help with the designation of a competent person, OSHA regulations mandate that the employer must be the one to ultimately make this designation.

Employers must provide fall protection training to employees prior to working on or around elevated surfaces. Employers must be aware of fall hazards and eliminate or control the hazards or the employees' exposure to them. Employees are responsible for following the policies, procedures, and fall protection training requirements established by employers.
