Online Qualified Person and Refresher

Course Description

Gravitec offers a Qualified Person and Refresher training to engineers (professional engineers, engineers, and EIT’s) so they can design effective and practical fall protection systems. Our Qualified Person course is also offered to non-engineers who wish to gain an awareness of the scientific principles or act as Qualified Persons in those aspects of fall protection where engineering is not required. Gravitec’s Fall Protection Qualified Person Course offers an advanced curriculum covering the five basic methods of fall protection and current fall protection practices, fall protection theory and fall protection engineering. Qualified Person workshop exercises include calculation of clearances, energy dissipation, anchorage strengths, swing falls and performance of horizontal lifelines (including multiple spans, flexible anchorages, temperature effects, etc.).

A detailed review of a fall hazard ranking system is also covered. They are encouraged to ask site-specific questions. Written and practical tests are administered to ensure that the principles presented in the course are understood. Documentation is available to satisfy your company’s due diligence and regulatory requirements.

This course meets the Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health, and Environmental Training (ANSI/ASSE Z490.1), the highest industry standard for training. It also meets the requirements of ANSI/ASSE Z359.2, Minimum Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program, found in the ANSI/ASSE Z359 Fall Protection Code.
