OSHA #7405 Fall Hazard Awareness for the Construction Industry

Class description

Fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction employees, accounting for 421 of the 1075 construction fatalities recorded in 2023 (BLS data). Those deaths were preventable. The National Safety Stand-Down To Prevent Falls in Construction raises fall hazard awareness across the country in an effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries.

This course covers the identification, evaluation, prevention and control of fall hazards in the construction industry. The course focuses on falls to a lower level rather than falls to the same level resulting from slips and falls. Course topics include identifying, analyzing, and preventing fall hazards utilizing OSHA Fall Protection Standards. At the conclusion of the course, students will have an awareness level of identifying fall hazards and methods to control and abate the hazards.

Attendance for this FREE class is limited to 40 participants. If you are unable to attend the class, please contact us to cancel your registration so that others may attend.
