Working At Heights (WAH) Certification

fall arrest training compliance

**Working At Heights (WAH)** training is legally mandatory for any worker using **fall protection systems** or working at elevated levels where a fall hazard exists. In Ontario, this certification requires both a comprehensive **theory module** and a verified **hands-on practical assessment**.

WAH Training Structure

Suggested Participants & Online/Onsite Model

• **Suggested Participants:** Anyone **working at heights** on a **Scissor Lift / Aerial Platform**.
• **Online Completion Time:** Approximately 45 minutes of self-paced learning.
• **WAH Certificate:** Trainees receive a **certification card** upon successful completion (90% passing grade).
• **Practical Training:** A mandatory **hands-on evaluation** must be completed by your certified person onsite after the online test. Photos of correct harness usage must be emailed for verification.

Working At Heights For Aerial Work Platforms

**Fall arrest training certification** for **working at heights** on **Scissor Lifts** can be completed **through our online safety training or at your workplace**, valid for **Canada and the United States**. Our program meets both **OSHA training** and the **Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS)** requirements.

Employers in **Canada and the United States** must provide **fall protection training** to workers who are exposed to the risk of falling. The **fall arrest certification** will instruct trainees on how to properly don their **fall protection equipment**, and how to properly store the harness and keep it in good condition. **Lucid Training's** goal is to provide your trainees proper **certification**, so that they know the rules and regulations when working on elevated platforms. This makes for a safer workplace, helps avoid accidents, and supports a strong system for **fall protection**.

Defining **Fall Arrest Systems**: **Fall arrest systems** are vital for keeping people safe while they **work at heights**. This is crucial when using an **aerial work platform** or **Scissor Lift**. These systems prevent serious injuries by catching a person before they fall too far. This protection system normally includes a full-body harness, a lanyard, and a secure **anchorage point** for connection. It is essential for anyone working in high places to know how these systems work and what parts are involved, a core focus of our **worksite safety** classes.

An effective **fall arrest system** is designed with several key components: **anchorage points**, **harnesses**, and the **connectors** such as lanyards. **Anchorage points** are necessary to provide a secure place to attach the system. **Harnesses** need to fit well to offer the best **fall protection**. **Connectors** should be strong and reliable. Knowing how to inspect and use these parts correctly ensures proper **fall protection** for workers in many different elevated situations.
