It also introduces trainees to the fall prevention hierarchy of controls and the various methods of fall protection including personal fall arrest systems.

The purpose of this program is to ensure that Cornell University employees have a means to properly analyze elevated work tasks where fall hazards are present and determine appropriate personal protection against falls in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction and General Industry regulations.
