Description
Working at height is a hazardous job, one that exposes workers to falls to lower levels, falls through roofs or floor openings, falling objects and falls due to structure collapses. Experts from the ANSI/ASSP Z359 Committee and ASSP will share insights, practical guidance and resources to help you develop a better understanding of the Z359 fall protection and restraint standards and how they both complement and augment applicable OSHA standards. Review key requirements included in these standards and discuss best practices for implementation on worksites in a wide variety of work settings.
Your registration includes all standards contained in the Z359 Fall Protection Code. Found under Downloads in your Personal Snapshot once purchased.
