Fall Protection – Mining Industry

Fall Protection – Mining Industry

Our Fall Protection – Mining Industry training course has been developed for those with an occupational requirement to be trained to safely perform work at heights.

The Mines Act and the accompanying Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for mines in British Columbia protect workers health and safety and references legislation related to working at heights and the need when practicable for fall protection systems to be implemented.

This Fall Protection – Mining Industry course will establish an understanding of the statutory requirements of the federal COHS, Provincial and Territorial OH&S legislations, Mines Act and the accompanying Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for mines in British Columbia.

We will achieve this through discussion of fall protection fundamentals and by participating in skills exercises.

By the end of this Fall Protection – Mining Industry course you will be able to:

• Describe effective fall protection, and where a fall protection plan is required.
• Describe various hazards and know how to handle hazards that are identified.
• Understand the hierarchy of choices and how conditions of the workplace affect the choice of fall protection.
• Should something go terribly wrong, you will know how to prevent prolonged suspension in a post fall protection device and you will understand how to effect a rescue.
