Free Fall Protection training, online and self-paced
Learn how falls from height are controlled — eliminate the hazard first, then guardrails, then personal fall arrest — and how to inspect a harness before every use. Free to study at your own pace; certificates and training records come through EHSTEC LMS.
Control the fall before you have to arrest it
- Where fall hazards come from — unprotected edges, holes, leading edges, and working on or near elevated surfaces.
- The hierarchy of fall protection: eliminate the hazard, then passive protection like guardrails and covers, then personal fall arrest as the last line.
- The ABCs of a personal fall arrest system — anchorage, body harness and connectors — and inspecting a harness and lanyard before every use.
What the course does — and what stays with your employer
This course builds awareness of fall hazards and how fall protection works. It does not by itself make anyone a competent or qualified person for fall protection, and it does not replace your employer’s fall-protection plan, the equipment-specific training for the systems you use, or a rescue plan for anyone working in a harness.

These are hazard-awareness and workplace-training courses. They are not OSHA Outreach Training Program courses and do not result in a DOL card, which only an OSHA-authorized trainer can issue. Completing a course supports your employer’s compliance with the standard it covers; it does not by itself make anyone authorized, competent or certified to operate equipment. EHSTEC is not affiliated with or endorsed by OSHA.
