1 Day Fall Protection Re-Certification

WorkplaceNL Approved

Fall Protection Recertification course requires that you hold a current and valid certification for Fall Protection in NL.

Who should attend?

This program is intended for both supervisory and non-supervisory personnel that may be exposed to fall hazards in the workplace.  According to the Fall Protection certification training standard, recertification is required every 3 years from the date of initial certification.  Therefore, participants will need to be recertified with the WorkplaceNL approved recertification training prior to the 3-year expiry.  If certification expires, then participants will be required to participate in the WorkplaceNL approved 2-day Fall Protection training again.

Note: Only participants who have already completed the 2 Day Fall Protection training program are eligible to complete the 1 Day Recertification training program.  If an individual has not completed the 2-Day program since it was introduced as the provincial training standard in 2012 then he/she must complete that program in order to be certified.
