Fall Protection Training
Gain life-saving skills from unbiased experts.
A fall protection program is only as effective as the knowledge and expertise of those who design, follow and enforce it.
That’s why, at LJB University, we specialize in fall protection training that’s hands-on and comprehensive—no matter your level of expertise. Our fall protection courses combine regulations, standards and best practices with information on equipment use and limitations, enabling you to identify and correct potential fall protection issues before they arise.
LJB does not manufacture, distribute or sell fall protection equipment. Our instructors are unbiased experts whose only concern is improving safety at your organization.

What LJB University students say
“The training was a big eye opener for me. I thought I knew a lot about fall protection but realized I didn’t – at least the proper stuff. I would recommend this course to anyone who deals with fall protection in their work environment.”
Technical Sergeant, Air Force Reserve Command
