Cal/OSHA Fall Prevention and Protection
Falls remain a leading cause of serious injuries and fatalities in construction, making compliance with fall protection regulations critical for worker safety. This course introduces learners to fall hazards and regulatory requirements specific to construction work performed in California, based on both California and federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. Participants will learn to identify fall hazards, determine protection system requirements, and understand the roles of Competent and Qualified Persons.
The course covers Cal/OSHA Title 8 requirements for fall protection systems, inspections, rescue planning, and employer responsibilities. By integrating fall protection into project planning rather than addressing it reactively, construction professionals can prevent injuries and ensure regulatory compliance.
