Fall Protection Training in Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, Delta, Richmond, Burnaby and Victoria BC
​Fall Protection Training in BC

Falls from heights, even relatively low elevations, can result in serious injuries. The proper use of fall protection equipment — in addition to planning, supervision, and training — can reduce or eliminate the risk of falling. The Occupational Health and Safety Regulation in BC requires workers to use fall protection systems when they could fall from a height of 3 m (10 ft.) or more, or where a fall from a lesser height could result in serious injury. Employers in BC are required to ensure all their employees working at heights are adequately provided with certified fall protection training in BC.

Fall Protection Hierarchy

The fall protection hierarchy in BC must be used when choosing methods to eliminate or control fall hazards. The steps are listed in the order in which they should be considered.


  1. Guardrails: where fall hazards cannot be eliminated, permanent or temporary guardrails or handrails form a protective barrier around an opening or edge to prevent a fall to a lower level.
  2. Fall Restraint: After eliminating fall hazards and installing guardrails, a fall restraint system is the next level in the fall protection hierarchy.
    Fall restraint systems prevent you from falling through either travel restriction or work positioning. With travel restriction, workers are attached to a fixed-length line that prevents them from travelling to close to an opening or edge.
  3. Fall arrest: when it's not possible or practical to use a fall restraint system, the next line of protection is fall arrest.
    A fall arrest system (including a lanyard or lifeline, a harness, and, most importantly, an anchor) protects you after a fall by stopping you from hitting the surface below
  4. Work Procedures: If guardrails, fall restraint, or fall arrest are not practicable, or will result in greater risk of injury, contact the Prevention Information Line to discuss alternative safe work procedures that are acceptable to WorkSafeBC.
