WHO IS THIS SERVICE FOR

The Right Choice for Employers with Fall Hazards

This certification is designed for industries where employees work at height, including construction, manufacturing, warehousing, utilities, telecommunications, and maintenance operations. OSHA requires employers to have Competent Persons on-site whenever fall protection systems are used, making this training critical for compliance and risk reduction.

WHY IT MATTERS

Prevent Costly Incidents and Strengthen Safety Oversight

Falls are not only dangerous but expensive, leading to workers’ comp claims, OSHA fines, and project delays. By certifying Competent Persons, employers ensure that leaders are capable of spotting and correcting hazards in real time, reducing liability, preventing accidents, and reinforcing a culture of accountability. Strong oversight lowers claims, keeps projects moving, and protects both employees and the bottom line.
