DESCRIPTION

Falls continue to be the number one source of accidents and injuries at job sites across Ontario and Canada. Our working at Heights course has been designed to include all aspects of fall prevention - from the ground up. This course has been approved by the Chief Prevention Officer of the Ontario Ministry of Labour.

Working At Heights is mandatory training for workers in the construction industry: 
http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/hs/topics/heights.php

What is considered "construction?"
Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), “construction” is defined to include erection, alteration, repair, dismantling, demolition, structural maintenance, painting, land clearing, earth moving, grading, excavating, trenching, digging, boring, drilling, blasting or concreting, the installation of any machinery or plant, and any work or undertaking in connection with a project (excluding any work or undertaking underground in a mine).

As of April 1, 2015, certain workers will need to complete a working at heights training program that has been approved by the Chief Prevention Officer before they can work at heights. The new training requirement is for workers on construction projects who use any of the following methods of fall protection:
  • travel restraint systems
  • fall restricting systems
  • fall arrest systems
  • safety nets
  • work belts or safety belts
Students are instructed on how to plan, protect and prepare themselves and their work site...to identify and prevent same surface falls as well as to work safely from heights within all guidelines and regulations. Our in-depth training follows the parameters of the new training standard. Quality is assured - we guarantee you will receive a complete and comprehensive day of training that includes all MOL requirements.

Working at Heights Module 1: Theory  - 3.5 hours
Working at Heights Module 2: Practical - 4.0 hours
Working at Heights REFRESHER: Consists of Module 2 training - 4.0 hours

Workplace environments, such as warehouse, offices and retail outlets, that do not require training on all of these components, can opt to take our Fall Arrest or Ladder Safety Course.
