Description

Did you know OSHA Subpart M requires workers to be trained in fall protection by a competent person? Have you noticed greater demand for comprehensive fall-protection training on job sites?

Falls from heights continue to be the leading cause of death and injury in the roofing industry, and falls account for at least one-third of all deaths in construction.

Ensure your company can meet these demands and protect your workforce by attending NRCA’s advanced two-day competent person training program. The course will prepare attendees to teach fall protection and provide a detailed understanding of:

  • The role and responsibilities of the competent person for fall protection
  • How to apply fall-protection knowledge as a competent person to prevent falls on job sites
  • How to use turnkey training materials to train roofing workers in fall-protection and prevention requirements.

Additional training is available through NRCA to meet the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ EM-385 24-hour fall-protection training requirements when taken in conjunction with this course.

For more information about this and other NRCA safety training programs and resources, contact Rich Trewyn, NRCA’s director of enterprise risk management, at (847) 493-7575 or rtrewyn@nrca.net.
