Program description:
Our industry is subject to many federal and state regulations addressing fall protection and fall prevention. We and our employees may have to climb a derrick, work on a potentially slippery surface, or be especially cautious with body movements when working with and around heavy equipment. You will learn to identify hazards and how to avoid them, as well as the devices available to protect you from harm if you should fall or slip, and how they fit into regulatory language.
