Safety Harness Training in brief: Safety Harness Training is an online course from ProCompliance covering when fall arrest is the appropriate control. It includes a ProCompliance completion certificate when they pass. It takes approx. 25 minutes online.
Why this training matters
A harness is personal fall protection, and it must be inspected, fitted and anchored properly to save a life.
Safety Harness Training explains when fall arrest is the right control and how a harness works. It covers the components and pre use inspection, correct fitting, anchor points, lanyards and fall factors. It also covers rescue planning and suspension trauma, because a fall arrest plan is incomplete without a rescue plan.
