Do I need a Working At Heights certification?
Most likely.
According to the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Working At Heights certifications are mandatory for all employees and contractors who must use certain fall protection equipment on construction projects or who work over 3 metres.
Thus, if you’re considering a career as a forklift operator, chances are you will need a Working At Heights certification that is approved by the Ministry of Labour, and both Section 26 of Ontario Regulations 297/13: OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AWARENESS AND TRAINING. and 213/91: CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
Nowadays, most Working At Heights certification programs include:
- Identification of fall hazards
- Review of fall protection systems and components
- How-to calculate fall clearances
- Guidelines for appropriate equipment selection
- Overview of anchorage points and basic energy dissipation principles
- Rescue plan review
- Proper component inspection and maintenance
- Relevant standards and regulations
