This course, facilitated by fall protection experts from LJB Inc., covers the fall protection Competent Person responsibilities defined in ANSI/ASSP Z359.2-2017. LJB does not manufacture, sell or distribute fall protection equipment, so our instruction provides unbiased information about the selection, use and limitations of equipment for hazard abatement.
