Why it Matters
Falls are one of the leading causes of serious workplace injuries and fatalities in Canada. Every year, workers are hospitalized — or worse — from incidents that could have been prevented with proper fall protection training and equipment. Beyond the human cost, employers face regulatory penalties, downtime, and financial loss when safety is ignored.
Fall protection matters because:
-
It saves lives by reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
-
It ensures compliance with provincial and federal OHS regulations.
-
It builds a culture of safety and responsibility on worksites.
-
It helps workers and employers avoid costly fines, delays, and liabilities.
-
It provides confidence to employees who know they’re protected and prepared.
Investing in fall protection is not just about meeting legal requirements — it’s about protecting your people, your projects, and your business.

Our fall protection training programs are designed to give you both the knowledge and practical skills to work safely at heights and in confined spaces. Each course is tailored to industry standards and real-world applications, ensuring you’re fully prepared for the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a PayPal account to book?

When is fall protection training required under Canadian safety law?
Most jurisdictions in Canada mandate fall protection training for work at heights of about 3 metres (10 feet) or more, especially when passive measures like guardrails aren’t feasible. This includes work near edges, openings, or elevated platforms.
What types of fall protection systems are used, and which are taught in the courses?
Fall protection systems include:
-
Fall arrest systems (e.g., harnesses, lanyards, lifelines, self-retracting devices)
-
Restraint systems (to prevent a fall from happening)
-
Guardrails, cover systems, and administrative controls
Our training covers how to choose, inspect, and use these systems effectively.
What are the essentials of a personal fall arrest system (PFAS)?
A PFAS must include:
-
Anchorage point
-
Full-body harness
-
Connector (like a lanyard)
-
Deceleration device (e.g., shock absorber)
-
An emergency rescue plan
Our “Rescue After a Fall” course delves into each component and ensures you’re prepared to respond in an emergency.
How often should fall protection equipment be inspected or recertified?
Equipment should be visually inspected before each use. Formal inspections are generally recommended every 6 to 12 months—frequency may increase under harsh conditions. Engineered systems like Kee Line or Kee Track often require annual inspection or recertification.
What training is covered in confined space courses alongside fall protection?
These courses teach:
-
Hazard identification
-
Safe entry and exit procedures
-
Atmospheric monitoring
-
Rescue strategies in confined environments
A solid fall protection plan—including rescue readiness—is a key part of confined space training.
