Fall Protection for Competent Persons Training

1/28/2025 7:30 am

Falls are the #1 cause of construction workplace death (by far) and, consequently, are the #1 most frequently cited OSHA violation in the industry.

No one thinks they’re going to fall, but it happens to thousands of construction workers each year. Managing fall protection isn’t an easy job – there are many fall exposures, several fall protection options, restrictions on how & when some options can be used, and different rules for different exposures. This course will help your competent person learn and implement the responsibilities for planning and managing fall protection on the job.

Mock Trial Program

Join us for this rescheduled informative in-person event in Allentown, PA.

Have you ever wondered how the provisions in your contract play out in real life? Have you experienced what it’s like to actually go to trial? This program is your chance to see and hear how construction cases play out in a court of law. The presentation will include a brief overview of relevant contract provisions followed by a mock trial to demonstrate how construction disputes play out in court. The Q&A session will be included at the end of the program for participants to explore what they saw and ask further questions. We hope you will join us for this very unique opportunity.
