More information about the OSHA Fall Protection User

There are four levels of fall protection training–awareness, authorized-user, competent person, and qualified-person training.
This fall protection user training course (authorized-user) is the second level. A best practice to keep employees safe and comply with OSHA is to have any worker exposed to fall hazards undergo this fall protection user training. This training is specialized for the type of job and specific fall hazards employees will be exposed to.

After successfully completion of the fall protection user training course, the delegate will be able to properly use fall protective equipment and be able to assist with the rescue of a colleague.
