Working at heights training obligations

Regulations in Ontario require employers to ensure workers in their employ on construction projects who may use fall protection equipment complete a WAH training program. This training must be approved by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development’s (MLITSD) Chief Prevention Officer (CPO). Further, it must take place before a worker uses a fall restricting system, fall arrest system, safety net, work belt or safety belt. And for continued compliance, employers must ensure workers they employ complete an approved WAH refresher program every three years.

Workers in other sectors require similar training. For instance, in workplaces covered by the Industrial Establishments regulation employers are required to ensure workers who must wear or use a fall arrest system, or any other protective clothing, equipment or device be trained in its use and care before use (s. 79 and 85, O. Reg. 851). There are similar requirements for employers and workplaces governed by mining and health care sector regulations. In each of these instances our Working at Heights training helps meet these obligations too.

WHSC can help with compliance...and get 50% off!
