About

Over 50,000 workers are injured annually by falling objects on construction sites. Protect your employees by investing in safety training. Our OSHA-based course is designed to educate workers on the hazards associated with falling objects in the workplace and how to prevent accidents and injuries caused by falling items or debris.

This type of training is particularly important in industries such as construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and maintenance, where workers are at risk of being struck by falling tools, equipment, materials, or debris from heights.

This training focuses on operating safely on job sites with falling object risks, such as scaffolding, cranes, and ladders. It covers gravity principles, hierarchy of controls, tool tethering, worksite controls, and proper personal protective equipment. Quiz questions are featured throughout the course to gauge retention and readiness for the final exam. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate of achievement.
