Falls from height are among the most common cause of serious work-related injuries and deaths in the workplace. This comprehensive fall protection training was developed to meet the highest standards for training in most Canadian jurisdictions using Canadian Standards Associations (CSA) Z259.
Designed to educate the worker in the planning, use, care and implementation of common fall protection systems, it includes both theory and practical application exercises in the classroom. Participants will engage in hands-on training activities, including inspecting, fitting, adjusting and connecting fall protection systems and components.
If you plan to work in Newfoundland and Labrador or Ontario, check with your employer for certification eligibility to ensure it meets local jurisdictional needs as outlined below:
- Newfoundland and Labrador: These specific workers are required to complete a minimum 2-day workplace NL training course.
- Ontario: The ESC course may not be valid for workers who work on “construction projects”. These workers will need to take an Ontario Working at Height (WAH) training course, which is mandated by the Ontario Ministry of Labour.
UPON COMPLETION
Upon successful completion of this course and passing an examination with a minimum score of 70%, you will receive a Certificate of Completion that is valid for three years. It is certified through Energy Safety Canada.
