Fall Protection End User Training in Ohio.

For the workers who wear a harness, clip into an anchor, or work behind a guardrail every day. This in-person class teaches them to recognize fall hazards, use and inspect their equipment correctly, and know what happens if a fall occurs, with hands-on practice on the kind of equipment they'll use.

Hands-On, Not Just a Video

End users are the people most exposed to fall hazards, and they learn best with the equipment in their hands. We spend real time putting harnesses on, adjusting them, inspecting lanyards and connectors, and talking through what clearance means below a worker, so the lessons stay with them when they're back on the job.

  • The nature of fall hazards in the work area
  • Using, inspecting, maintaining, and storing personal fall protection equipment
  • Free fall distance, total fall distance, and clearance, in plain terms
  • Proper anchoring and tie-off
  • Rescue equipment and procedures, and why prompt rescue matters
  • Hands-on practice and demonstrations

Class Length

Where

Taught in person, at your site or another predetermined location, and scheduled around your crew.

Everyone who completes the class receives an Optimum Safety certificate. The employer makes the designation. Our certificate is part of the proof of training a company keeps on file; deciding who is designated, and for what work, stays with the employer.

End Users Under EM 385-1-1

The 2024 manual calls the end user an Authorized Person: someone trained in the use of their assigned personal fall protection equipment, including hands-on training and practical demonstrations in a typical fall-hazard situation (paragraph 21-2.d). Authorized Persons have to be trained before they use the equipment, by a competent person qualified to train on fall protection, and the training has to cover the nature of the fall hazards, the procedures for the equipment, application limits and fall distances, rescue, hands-on practice, anchoring and tie-off, and the chapter's requirements (paragraph 21-3.d(1) and (2)).

The manual also calls for retraining when the fall protection program or the equipment changes, when someone's performance shows a gap, or when workplace conditions change, and for an annual refresher of at least one hour (paragraph 21-3.d(3) and (4)). Tell us when your crew needs a refresher and we'll fit it into a toolbox talk or a short session.

Train the Whole Crew at Once

We teach the class at your site, where your crew can train on the anchorages and equipment they'll actually use, or at another predetermined location. We're based in Ohio and we travel to where the work is. Send us your headcount and timing and we'll confirm a date.

The people who will plan and supervise fall protection need more than end user training; see our Fall Protection Competent Person Training. For every class we teach, see construction safety training in Ohio.
