This is a Migna Safety Solutions course with a Migna certificate of completion. It is not OSHA Outreach Training and does not include a Department of Labor card.

Falls remain the leading cause of death in construction. This course covers the trigger heights and where they differ, fall hazard recognition, the hierarchy of controls, guardrail systems, safety nets, hole covers, warning lines and controlled access zones, personal fall arrest components and inspection, fall clearance and swing fall calculation, anchorage requirements including horizontal lifelines, ladder and roof work, and rescue planning for suspension trauma. Issues a Migna certificate of completion with a publicly verifiable certificate number.

Seat time is enforced on our servers. The clock is calculated from signed progress events rather than in your browser, so it cannot be sped up — a certificate that states 39 minutes of training means it. The 57 minutes shown above is that gate plus the quizzes and final exam, which are not on the clock.

This certificate does not expire on a clock

The standard behind this course sets no fixed retraining interval, so we do not print one. Retraining is triggered by events instead — a new hazard, a changed process, or an observed deficiency. Your employer or insurer may set their own interval, which is a real obligation but not a federal one.

What You Will Be Able To Do

The course is built to reach these, and the quizzes are written to confirm them.

  • Identify the walking/working surfaces where 29 CFR 1926.501(b) requires fall protection, and state the trigger height for each
  • Distinguish guardrail, safety net and personal fall arrest systems, and state which are passive and which depend on the worker
  • Name the three components of a personal fall arrest system and the maximum arresting force the standard permits
  • Describe the inspection a worker performs on a harness and lanyard before each use, and what condition removes equipment from service
