24 Hour Fall Protection
U.S. Safety’s 24-Hour Competent Person for Fall Protection Course is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the USACE. Our training uses the “Corp’s” guideline book (outlined below), then supplement the training by comparing and contrasting the OSHA requirements with those of the EM 385.1.1. That way, the most stringent standard can be easily identified. By “Corps” standards this training must provide 8 hours of hands-on training and 16 hours of formal training.
