Fall Hazard Awareness Training Course

SWR Institute & OSHA Alliance announce new Fall Hazard Awareness Training Course for the construction industry!

The Alliance Program Construction Roundtable's Fall Protection Workgroup developed a "Fall Hazard Awareness for the Construction Industry" Training Course. The goal of this course is to provide small construction employers and employees with information on recognizing potential fall hazards at their worksites and suggest ways to avoid, minimize, control or prevent the hazards whenever possible. The course focuses on falls to a lower level; not falls to the same level resulting from slips and trips.

Specifically, this course:

Identifies factors that contribute to common fall hazards
Explains how to analyze work areas for fall hazards
Discusses methods to control or prevent fall hazards
Describes OSHA’s fall protection resources

The training course includes the following:(See downloads below.)

Training course overview
Training course manual for both course instructors and participants
Slide presentations for both course instructors and participants
Fall job hazard analysis checklists

SWR Institute would like to thank Ron Pilla, former SWR Institute Safety Committee Chair, for his expertise and time that he dedicated to the completion of this project with the OSHA Alliance Program.
