Course Details

• Who Can Join: No previous training is required. Working at Heights training is mandatory for workers on construction projects in Ontario who use any of the following methods of fall prevention or protection: travel restraint systems, fall restricting systems, fall arrest systems, safety nets, or work and safety belts.

Your certificate is valid for three years from the date of successful completion. Before it expires, a refresher re-validates your training for another three years.

Why This Training Is Important

Working at heights carries real risk, and proper training is a requirement, not an option:

• Prevent injuries: Recognising fall hazards and correctly inspecting and using your equipment is what stops a fall from becoming a fatality.
• Stay compliant: Training keeps your crew eligible for the sites and contracts that require it.
• Work better: Trained crews work more confidently, pass inspections, and keep projects on schedule.
