A Great Class is WHAT??

✅ 1. Accredited, Up-to-Date Curriculum

• Based on OSHA, ANSI, and CSA standards (like OSHA 1926 Subpart M or ANSI Z359).

• Reflects current best practices and industry changes.

• Offers clear info on types of fall hazards, equipment selection, and hierarchy of controls.

👷‍♂️ 2. Hands-On Training

• Practice using harnesses, lanyards, anchors, SRLs, etc.

• Simulated fall scenarios: climbing ladders, working on scaffolds, rooftop edges.

• Real demos: suspension trauma, rescue techniques.

🎯 3. Engaging & Experienced Instructor

• Not just a slide-reader—someone who’s been in the field.

• Can relate theory to real-life job sites and share actual incidents (and near-misses).

• Encourages interaction, questions, and critical thinking.

📘 4. Clear, Practical Content

• Includes both fall hazard recognition and control strategies.

• Breaks down the science: fall clearance calculations, shock absorption, etc.

• Covers equipment inspection, maintenance, and documentation.

📝 5. Strong Assessment & Certification

• Written test and practical skills evaluation.

• Certificate should clearly state the level of training (e.g., Authorized, Competent Person).

• Good programs often include a wallet card and a record for employers.

🧠 6. Retention & Support

• Follow-up resources like quick guides, checklists, and refreshers.

• Ability to ask questions post-class or get guidance later.

• Optional refresher or recertification reminders.

🔍 7. Customization for Industry or Site

• Tailors training to specific job roles (e.g., construction, telecom, wind energy).

• Can be site-specific: addresses actual hazards and equipment used.

If you're choosing a provider, check reviews or ask:

• Do they offer hands-on training with real gear?

• Can they explain how to calculate fall distances or inspect anchor points?

• How long is the certification valid?

• Are the instructors active professionals or former safety managers?
