Common questions
What is the difference between authorized and competent person training?
Authorized users learn to work safely at height. A competent person can identify fall hazards, has the authority to correct them, and oversees the program on site.
Do we need written proof of training?
Yes. In construction, OSHA requires a written certification record for fall protection training.
