CSSI has partnered with FallTech to deliver the Fall Protection Competent Person course. This 16-hour program equips participants with a comprehensive understanding of fall protection principles and develops the skills necessary to serve as a competent person on the jobsite. The course covers the essential components of a fall protection program, including system planning, equipment selection, and rescue strategies.

Participants will engage in hands-on exercises, equipment demonstrations, and workshops designed to reinforce knowledge of anchor points, body support, connectors, descent and rescue, and more. Successful completion of the course—including passing the written test with a score of at least 70%—results in a FallTech certificate and wallet card valid for two years.
