What is Fall Arrest?

Fall Arrest includes travel restraints such as a harness, a lanyard and an anchorage point. In some instances it can include a safety net underneath the worker.  Fall arrest is required for any worker who is at risk of

• falling from a height of more than 3 metres (approx. 10 feet);

• falling into operating machinery;

• falling into water or another liquid;

• falling into or onto a hazardous substance or object;

• falling though an opening in a work surface.

This Fall Protection Program will provide participants with an understanding of their responsibilities when working in areas where fall hazards exist, the use of and inspection of the required equipment and the critical controls necessary to reduce the risk of a fall. Upon successful completion, a certificate will be issued automatically.
