8 Hour Fall Prevention

8 Hour Fall Prevention

Predictive Safety's 8 Hour Prevention Course

The NYCDOB 8-Hour Fall Prevention Class is a crucial safety training designed to educate construction workers on the risks and hazards associated with falls, which are the leading cause of injury and death in the construction industry. The course covers essential topics such as proper use of fall protection systems, scaffolding safety, ladder use, and the importance of hazard recognition. It’s not just about checking a box for compliance—it's about saving lives. Falls from heights are devastating and entirely preventable when workers are equipped with the right knowledge. This training is mandated by New York City's Local Law 196, which aims to ensure that all workers on major construction sites have the skills needed to protect themselves and their coworkers. This course is an essential element of all SST training tiers.
