Course Description

AIP Safety is offering/instructing ESC Fall Protection course on behalf of Energy Safety Canada Ltd and the training credential is under Energy Safety Canada.

Participants required to utilize fall protection equipment must be trained and competent in its proper use, care and maintenance.

Fall arrest is the form of fall protection which involves the safe stopping of a person already falling. It is one of several forms of fall protection, forms which also include fall guarding (general protection that prevents persons from entering a fall hazard area e.g., guard rails) and fall restraint (personal protection which prevents persons who are in a fall hazard area from falling, e.g., fall restraint lanyards).

Workers are required to have trained in the use of fall protection equipment as legislated by the OH&S Code of Alberta and the ESC fall protection standard.

This 8 hour Industrial / Commercial End-User Fall Protection program will allow you to understand the use of fall protection, as it relates to the work you perform at height.
