Authorized Person Training
This fundamental course equips the end-user (the “Authorized Person”) with the essential knowledge required to work safely at heights. We focus on practical application, teaching your team how to properly inspect, don, and utilize their personal fall arrest systems.
Students will learn to recognize potential job site hazards and understand the limitations of their equipment. This training ensures that the workers physically utilizing the gear have the confidence and knowledge to protect themselves every day.
Currently, there are no open enrollment dates scheduled for this course. If you are interested in hosting an Authorized Person Training for your team, please contact us at [email protected] or use the form below.
Rescue Planning & Execution
Having a fall arrest system in place is only half the battle; OSHA requires a prompt rescue plan for any fallen worker. This course is designed to train your personnel on how to safely and efficiently execute a rescue using pre-engineered rescue systems.
We cover the critical aspects of suspension trauma, rescue hierarchy, and hands-on scenarios using specialized descent and recovery equipment. Your team will leave with the capability to manage an emergency at height safely.

Competent Person for Equipment Inspection
Safety starts before the worker ever leaves the ground. This specialized course is tailored for the individual responsible for the formal, documented inspections of their company’s fall protection inventory.
We provide an in-depth look at regulatory requirements, manufacturer specifications, and the mechanics of fall arrest gear. Students will learn how to properly inspect harnesses, lanyards, SRLs, and anchorage connectors to identify wear, damage, or deployment, ensuring defective gear is removed from service.
