Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does fall protection training take?

    This online fall protection certification takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete, including the final exam. You can work at your own pace and pause/resume as needed.

    What score do I need to pass?

    You must achieve a minimum score of 70% on the final assessment. You have up to 3 attempts to pass.

    How often must fall protection training be renewed?

    OSHA requires retraining when workplace conditions change, new equipment is introduced, performance deficiencies are observed, or after incidents. Many employers require annual refresher training to maintain proficiency.

    Will I receive a certificate?

    Yes, upon passing the final exam you’ll receive your printable Fall Protection Training Certificate immediately—valid for documenting completion of the training component.

    At what height is fall protection required in construction?

    OSHA requires fall protection for construction workers on walking/working surfaces with unprotected sides or edges that are 6 feet or more above a lower level. This is the “6-foot rule” that applies to most construction activities.

    What is the difference between low-slope and steep roofs?

    Low-slope roofs have a slope of 4 in 12 (vertical to horizontal) or less. Steep roofs have slopes greater than 4 in 12. Steep roofs have additional requirements including toeboards on guardrails because of the increased risk of sliding.
