Skills covered in this course
Description
A fall takes less than a second. Whether your equipment saves you depends on decisions you make before you ever leave the ground. PFAS Donning & Inspection puts you in real-world scenarios where you have to inspect, assess, and act. You'll build the critical thinking and decision-making skills to recognize unsafe equipment, respond after a fall, and stop work when something isn't right - even when the pressure says keep going.
Drawn from OSHA Standards 1910.140, 1926.95, .501 - .503, and industry best practices.
An interactive simulation is included. Overlooking a problem with fall protection equipment can have life-changing consequences. This simulation puts learners in the role of a worker preparing to use a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). Learners work through decisions that reinforce attention to detail and personal accountability before work begins. The experience builds confidence in recognizing when something isn’t right and taking action before it puts someone at risk.
You can access the simulation using a screen reader, computer, mobile device, or a Quest VR headset.
