- Trainees will understand the OHSA laws and regulations as they pertain to Working at Heights and be able to recognize hazards, know the hierarchy of controls and what safety procedures to take in order to minimize risks.
- Trainees will correctly identify the various types of equipment available to protect them when working at heights applicable to the task and situation encountered.
- Each trainee will physically demonstrate a proper inspection of a harness that has been intentionally flawed, and correctly identify the reasons it cannot be used.
