It is common for workers to put themselves in situations that are unsafe in order to get the job done. Unfortunately, this practice often results in accidents leading to injury or death. With raised awareness and knowledge of basic fall protection standards and guidelines, many of these accidents can be avoided.

Fall protection training is not only essential to employee safety, but OSHA law also requires it. Atlantic Fall Protection offers comprehensive, on-site Authorized User training for workers required to utilize fall protection. We also provide Competent Person training for supervisors overseeing workers using fall protection equipment.
