Fall Protection Program
8. Training and Competency Assurance
8.1 Due the specialized knowledge and skills required to effectively assess and train employees to recognize fall protection situations, and to competently rig, inspect and use fall protection systems, CSULB Safety and Risk Management is responsible for developing the training curriculum, and delivering that curriculum to university managers, supervisors, and employees.
8.2 Under no circumstances will any university employee work in areas where fall protection is required, perform work requiring fall protection devices, or use fall protection devices until he/she has attended training in fall protection. This includes all new employees regardless of previous experience.
8.3 The training program provided by Safety and Risk Management includes classroom instruction and operational training on specific fall hazards on campus.
8.3.1 Employees will require retraining under any of the following conditions:
- Changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete.
- Changes in the types of fall protection systems or equipment to be used render previous training obsolete.
- Inadequacies in an employee's knowledge of use of fall protection systems or equipment or observed behavior indicate that the employee has not retained the required training.
