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. Workers in other sectors take the course where their employer requires it.
• Certification: The course runs 8 hours. Certification requires 100% attendance, a successful practical skills demonstration, and a passing written exam. 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.
