2. As of April 1, 2015, workers who require training in working at heights will need to complete a working at heights training program that has been approved by the Chief Prevention Officer.
3. The training program must meet the Working at Heights Training Program Standard and the training provider must meet the Training Provider Standard.
4. The training will be valid for three years from the date of completion.

Working at Heights Safety Training Course Summary
Exposure to fall hazards in construction is a daily occurrence, but it doesn’t have to be! Unfortunately falls happen too often, and are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry.

Our Working At Heights Safety Training program is broken down into two main modules: basic theory and practical equipment. The basic theory module discusses working at heights hazards, controls, introduces the learner to the basics of fall protection, and ladder safety.

The practical equipment module focuses on the application and use of the different fall protection systems, their components, and their limitations. Learners must demonstrate how to inspect the equipment, don and doff the harness, and maintain 100% tie-off. These are performance outcomes and must be achieved successfully.
