California OSHA Fall Protection Course (1 Hour)

California-based workers must take a Fall Protection course to meet California/Occupational Health and Safety (Cal/OSHA) regulations. Our one-hour Fall Protection course helps employees take effective measures to plan for and reduce fall hazards.

Who Should Take This Class?

Anyone in California who deals with fall hazards such as staircases, walkways, raised platforms, unstable surfaces and heights should take this course. Workers who work on elevated platforms such as roofs, cranes and scaffolds need fall protection training to reduce safety hazards and prevent accidents.

Industries Requiring This Course

Any California industry that involves working at height requires fall protection proficiency. In California, any elevated working surface 30 inches or more above the work area must meet width, clear headroom and padding requirements. The manufacturing, roofing and construction industries all require fall protection courses to protect employees.

What Requirements Does This Course Satisfy?

This fall protection course satisfies California’s Title 8 fall protection regulations. Our course meets the requirements laid out in the fall protection guidelines, the written fall protection plan and Subchapter 7’s openings and safety feature specifications.

What to Expect in This Course

This one-hour course will provide you with guided fall protection training. With this training, you will understand fall hazards and fall protection standards set by Cal/OSHA. The course will review fall hazards and teach you how to minimize them for a safer workplace.

Topics Covered

This course covers critical topics such as fall hazard identification, appropriate fall protection systems, anchor points and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE). It also teaches you about federal fall regulations and California’s additional requirements for reducing fall hazards.

Course Objectives

Upon course completion, students will be able to:

• Define the three methods of controlling fall hazards in the required order.
• Identify scaffolding system use requirements.
• Describe Fall Protection Plan elements.

Course Requirements

Students will complete review sections and a final exam during this course. You can access all course materials online through our program. To do this, you should have a working email and a tablet or computer with internet access. Upon course completion, you will receive a PDF certificate you can show to prove course completion.

Grading Policy

Students will need at least 75% on the final exam to pass the course. You can take the final up to three times — failure to pass after three attempts means you will need to re-enroll in the class to attempt the exam again.

Course Schedule and Deadlines

The Fall Protection course is self-paced. Students have 30 days to complete the course once they enroll. If 30 days pass and your course is incomplete, you must re-enroll.
