Safety Harness Foundation Training Course

Course Details

On a busy construction site, safety isn't optional—it’s essential. A harness and lanyard might seem simple, but using them wrong can be the difference between a close call and a serious injury.

This hands-on training course will teach you everything you need to know about fall protection, so you can:

✅ Choose the right gear for the job and environment.
✅ Inspect your harness and lanyard to spot damage before it’s too late.
✅ Wear and adjust your harness properly for comfort and safety.
✅ Understand fall protection regulations and keep your site compliant.
✅ React in an emergency to minimize risks and protect your crew.

Why Does It Matter?

Falls are one of the leading causes of injuries on construction sites. Without proper training, a simple mistake—like an incorrectly adjusted harness or a poorly chosen lanyard—can lead to:

🚧 Severe injuries (broken bones, sprains, or worse).
🚧 Equipment failure due to wear, damage, or improper use.
🚧 Increased risk of falls from choosing the wrong lanyard length.

Training makes the difference. By learning the right techniques, you ensure that you and your team go home safely every day.
