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.
