OVERVIEW
Fall protection
This class is for the people who wear the harness and for the people your employer designates as the fall protection competent person. We size the session to the roles on your crew and the systems you use: personal fall arrest, restraint, positioning, and the anchors and connectors that go with them.
Authorized-user training is built around the OSHA training requirements for the people who use fall protection. Learners practice donning and adjusting harnesses, connecting to the right part of the system, recognizing damaged or out-of-service gear, and knowing what to do if someone is suspended. We stay on your procedures and the hazards on your work, not a generic slide deck.
Competent person. Competent-person content lives on this same page. There is no separate fall protection competent person route. When your employer needs someone who can select systems, spot inadequate protection, and stop work that puts people at risk, we train that role alongside or after the authorized-user material. Scope follows how your sites run, including inspection expectations and when equipment must come out of service.
Classes use real example gear. Crews have brought their own harnesses into the room, including ones with rust and other damage that should never go back on a job. In one session we lined up about fifteen marketplace-purchased self-retracting lifelines; four failed inspection. We kept one of the failed units for later classes, next to rigging that had melted against an exhaust pipe. Seeing failed gear next to passable gear changes how people inspect what they put on.
You receive training records for every attendee. Those records are for your files, your GC, or your corporate safety group. This is not a portable certification or a transferable license.

FAQ
Common questions
What is the difference between an authorized user and a competent person?
An authorized user (sometimes called an end user) is someone who wears and uses fall protection on the job. A competent person is the person your employer designates who can identify fall hazards and existing or predictable hazards in the system, and who has authority to take prompt corrective measures. We train both roles; which one you need depends on how your employer assigns responsibility on the site.
Do you train both authorized users and competent persons?
Yes. We can run authorized-user training, competent-person content, or both in one engagement, sized to your crew and the systems on your work. Competent-person material is part of this course page, not a separate booking path.
Where does the class happen? Can individuals sign up?
At your facility or jobsite on your schedule. Training is on site for employers only. There are no public classes, open enrollment, or individual sign-ups.
Do we use our own gear or yours?
Both, when it helps the class. We bring instructor props, including units that failed inspection, so people can see what “out of service” looks like. We also train on the harnesses, SRLs, and anchors your crew uses so the session matches your site.
