Fall Protection Awareness Course 2026

This course is for workers in Canada, including security guards and site staff, who work near roofs, edges, openings or raised platforms. It explains when fall protection is needed, the order of controls, harness systems, plans and rescue. It is background knowledge only and does not replace the fall protection training the law requires before you use the equipment.

    Visa svar

    Svar: B. Yes, if the worker could land on a hazard like machinery

    Many rules require protection for shorter falls onto hazards such as machinery, liquids, hazardous substances or openings.

  3. Fråga 3 av 25

    On Ontario construction projects, fall protection is also needed where a worker on a wheelbarrow path could fall more than how far?
    Visa svar

    Svar: D. 1.2 metres

    Ontario's Construction Projects regulation (O. Reg. 213/91, s. 26) covers falls of more than 1.2 m where the area is used as a wheelbarrow path.

  4. Fråga 4 av 25

    What is the most effective way to control a fall hazard?
    Visa svar

    Svar: A. Remove the need to work at height

    Elimination is at the top of the hierarchy of control: the best fall protection is not working at height at all.

  5. Fråga 5 av 25

    Why are guardrails usually preferred over harnesses?
    Visa svar

    Svar: A. They do not depend on worker training

    Guardrails are a physical barrier that protects workers without relying on them to use, inspect and wear personal equipment.

  6. Fråga 6 av 25

    Which three parts make up a typical guardrail?
    Visa svar

    Svar: C. Top rail, mid-rail and toe board

  7. Fråga 7 av 25

    Under Alberta's OHS Code, if a guardrail is not reasonably practicable, what is used next?
    Visa svar

    Svar: D. A travel restraint system

    Alberta sets the order: guardrail first, then travel restraint, then personal fall arrest, then another equally effective method.

  8. Fråga 8 av 25

    What does a travel restraint system do?
    Visa svar

    Svar: D. Stops you from going over the edge

    Travel restraint limits your movement so you can reach the edge but cannot fall over it.

  9. Fråga 9 av 25

    What is a personal fall arrest system designed to do?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. Stop your fall once it has begun

    A fall arrest system is designed to catch the worker in the event of a fall.

  12. Fråga 12 av 25

    Which of these should you NOT use as an anchor for fall protection?
    Visa svar

    Svar: A. A roof vent

    Never tie off to roof vents, roof hatches, small pipes, railings, antennas or air-conditioning units.

  13. Fråga 13 av 25

    BC's regulation sets a basic minimum strength for a temporary fall arrest anchor. What is it?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. 22 kN (5,000 lb)

    Under BC's OHS Regulation, as CCOHS explains, a temporary fall arrest anchor must hold at least 22 kN (5,000 lb) in every direction, or two times the maximum arrest force.

  14. Fråga 14 av 25

    You pick up a harness and lanyard at the start of your shift. When should they be checked?
    Visa svar

    Svar: A. Before you use them

    All fall protection equipment must be inspected before use.

  15. Fråga 15 av 25

    Why must you check the clearance below you before using fall arrest?
    Visa svar

    Svar: C. So you stop before you hit anything below

    The clear space below must be more than the distance you could fall before the system stops you.

  16. Fråga 16 av 25

    What is a swing fall?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. Swinging sideways like a pendulum after a fall

    If the anchor is off to one side, a falling worker can swing like a pendulum and hit an object. Swing fall potential is part of clearance planning.

  17. Fråga 17 av 25

    Why must a worker left hanging in a harness after a fall be rescued quickly?
    Visa svar

    Svar: C. Less oxygen reaches the brain as blood pools

    In suspension trauma, blood pools in the legs and less oxygen reaches the brain. CCOHS warns death may occur in less than 30 minutes.

  18. Fråga 18 av 25

    Before a worker uses a fall protection system, what must the employer do in Alberta, BC and federally?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. Train or instruct the worker in its use

    Alberta (OHS Code s. 141), BC (s. 11.2) and the federal regulations all require training or instruction before use.

  19. Fråga 19 av 25

    While hanging in a harness and waiting for rescue, what can help?
    Visa svar

    Svar: A. Using a relief strap or pumping your legs

    A relief strap or foot loop, and pumping the legs, help keep blood moving while waiting for rescue.

  20. Fråga 20 av 25

    A site's only rescue plan is to call 911 after a fall. Is that enough?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. No, the site must be able to rescue quickly itself

    CCOHS says relying only on calling emergency services is not an appropriate rescue plan; quick on-site retrieval is essential.

  21. Fråga 21 av 25

    A worker was caught by a fall arrest system and rescued. They say they feel fine. What should happen?
    Visa svar

    Svar: C. They should be taken to hospital to be checked

    Rescued workers should go to hospital right away, because injuries such as kidney damage may not show at first.

    In Alberta, when is a written fall protection plan required?
    Visa svar

    Svar: C. For falls of 3 m or more without guardrails

Bra att veta före provet

  • A worker hanging in a harness can suffer suspension trauma; CCOHS warns death may occur in less than 30 minutes.
  • BC requires a written fall protection plan where workers without permanent guardrails could fall 7.5 m (25 ft) or more.
  • Ontario construction workers who use fall protection need approved working at heights training, valid for 3 years.

Vanliga frågor

Does this course qualify me to use a harness or work at heights?

No. The law requires your employer to train or instruct you on the fall protection system before you use it, and Ontario construction workers need working at heights training approved by the Chief Prevention Officer. This course is background knowledge only.

At what height do I need fall protection?

In most of Canada the main trigger is a possible fall of 3 m or more, but protection is also needed for shorter falls onto hazards such as machinery or openings. Check your province's rules.

What is the difference between travel restraint and fall arrest?

Travel restraint keeps you from going over the edge. Fall arrest catches you after a fall has started.

Is calling 911 enough as a rescue plan?

No. CCOHS says a site must be able to reach and retrieve a hanging worker very quickly, not rely only on emergency services.
