Falls remain one of the leading causes of serious injuries in manufacturing, but they are also among the most preventable. This course provides the practical knowledge workers need to identify fall hazards, understand OSHA fall protection requirements, and follow safe work practices whenever they work on ladders, platforms, mezzanines, elevated work areas, or near unprotected edges in manufacturing facilities.

You will learn how to recognize situations where fall protection is required, understand the purpose and limitations of common fall protection systems, perform basic equipment inspections, and make safe decisions before and during work at height. Through engaging videos, realistic manufacturing scenarios, and interactive activities, you will build the confidence to recognize hazards, select appropriate protective measures, and respond correctly when workplace conditions change. Whether you are new to manufacturing or looking to reinforce your workplace safety knowledge, this course helps you reduce risk and contribute to a safer, more compliant workplace. Enroll today to build the skills and confidence to recognize fall hazards, work safely at height, and support a safer, OSHA-compliant manufacturing workplace.

Before workers can protect themselves from falls, they must understand where fall hazards exist, why falls occur, and when fall protection becomes necessary. This module introduces common manufacturing fall hazards, explains OSHA's basic fall protection requirements, and builds the foundation for recognizing situations that require additional protective measures before work begins.
