Fall protection requires more than selecting the right equipment. This webinar explores how structural engineering and safety disciplines work together to create effective, practical and reliable fall protection systems. Learn the difference between engineering controls and engineered systems, when a professional engineer is required, and what to look for when engaging an external service provider or internal resource. The session also examines Prevention through Design, the Qualified Person’s role and design best practices outlined in ANSI Z359.6. Discover the inspection, certification and maintenance considerations that help ensure engineered fall protection systems continue to perform as intended and protect workers over time.
This training session explores critical rooftop safety hazards, including access points, rooftop openings and unprotected edges, while covering applicable OSHA standards and the use of a Risk Assessment Matrix to evaluate risks. Attendees will gain practical insights and learn how engineered solutions can help protect workers during rooftop access, maintenance and other tasks at height.
Most fall protection failures aren’t caused by a lack of care or effort—they’re the result of fragmented solutions. When hazard assessment, engineering, equipment selection, and installation are handled separately, even one misaligned decision can compromise the entire system. The result: solutions that appear compliant but fall short in practice—creating gaps in safety, driving up costs, and leaving organizations exposed to unnecessary risk. Participants will learn how to recognize these risks early and take a more cohesive approach to fall protection—one that aligns safety, compliance, and real-world usability from the start.
