Fall Protection Equipment and Training

We offer a full curriculum of training on fall protection equipment to ensure the safety and productivity of your crew.

Our training program covers equipment from various manufacturers, so your team will be prepared and safe. Certex staff will help you meet OSHA requirements and show your crew how to focus on one step at a time with an unwavering motto of “Safety First.” We can provide your site supervisors with fall protection competent person training to ensure they are up-to-date on the latest techniques and equipment.

In addition to training in the field, we have two state-of-the-art facilities developed for immersive, hands-on learning. Choose either Tucson AZ or Bakersfield CA where your team will experience 8 hours of working with equipment from over 20 different manufacturers. The modern, climate-controlled environment creates ideal surroundings for learning and every course meets or exceeds applicable ANSI Z359, OSHA Sub Part M, CSA and Manufacturers requirements.

If sending your team to Tucson AZ or Bakersfield CA isn’t an option, take advantage of the training our Charlotte team can provide right on your job site. As part of our services, we can perform horizontal lifeline inspection and installation.

We also provide custom labeling on fall protection equipment such as hard hats and safety vests, so the items can be branded with your company name and logo.
