Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act in Ontario, most workplaces must ensure that certain workers complete a working at heights training program that has been approved by the Chief Prevention Officer (CPO).
The training requirement is for workers on construction projects who use any of the following methods of fall protection: travel restraint systems, fall restricting systems, fall arrest systems, safety nets and work belts or safety belts.
This training requirement is in the Occupational Health and Safety Awareness and Training Regulation, and is in addition to training requirements under the Construction Regulation.
