Course Description
Educating and training workers is not only a regulatory requirement for employers but is also a critical element to improving worksite safety. For many employers, having an on-site instructor is a beneficial asset for providing timely, consistent safety training which is current with the applicable regulations and standards. Course participants should be individuals who have an understanding of and possess experience with working at-height, presentation skills, and worksite safety programs.
This five-day course is designed to specifically prepare participants to deliver 3M’s Authorized and Competent Person Fall Protection programs. The first two days of this program will develop participants understanding of content as they complete the Competent Person Fall Protection program (course #6424). During the next three days of this program a senior 3M Instructor will explain, guide, and coach course candidates through the process of content delivery, culminating in participants being assessed on their ability to deliver the prescribed curriculum.
Upon completion of the Certified Instructor program, successful course participants will receive a certificate indicating their ability to deliver these specific 3M Safety Training fall protection programs; Authorized Person Essentials (#6408), Authorized Person Comprehensive (#6418), or Competent Person (#6424).
