‹ Previous Month Next Month ›Aquatic Health and Safety Awareness: Types of Fall Protection, Including Guardrails
Date: Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
Time: 11:00-12:00
Location: Online
The Aquatics Health and Safety Awareness campaign is designed to raise awareness of occupational health and safety concerns for those working in and around aquatic facilities, and to provide free and accessible resources to workers (including vulnerable/new/young workers), supervisors, pool facility operators, and organizations. The webinars are no cost, open to all attendees, and will be recorded and made available following the event.
This 45-minute webinar is presented by a fall protection engineering expert that will review when a fall protection plan and fall protection training are required. The subject matter expert will also discuss the hierarchy of controls specific for fall protection, and the types of systems, such as guardrails, travel restraint, fall arrest, and control zones. This general understanding is fundamental before creating a fall protection plan and implementing its systems. Following the webinar, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of our subject matter expert.
- Review when fall protection is required.
