Fall Protection Training

What Is Fall Protection Certification? 

While the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) doesn't directly issue specific "fall protection certifications," they do have rigorous standards for fall protection training. OSHA-authorized online providers, such as OSHAcampus® by 360training, offer courses that meet these standards and upon completion, individuals receive certificates of completion. 

These certificates demonstrate that the individual has the knowledge and skills to work safely in environments with fall hazards. 

So, while there isn't a specific "OSHA Fall Protection Certification," the certificates issued by OSHA-authorized training centers are widely recognized and accepted as meeting OSHA's requirements.
