A Competent Person plays a critical role in fall protection programs—recognizing hazards, implementing controls, and ensuring compliance with OSHA and ANSI requirements.

This two-day program combines classroom learning with practical exercises, equipping participants to assess fall hazards, select appropriate systems, and oversee safe work practices at height. Instruction is delivered by experienced fall protection professionals who bring real-world scenarios into the classroom.
