OSHA Fall Protection Safety Training 2024-2025
2025-02-21 | Dallas College West Dallas Center, 3330 N Hampton Rd, Dallas, 75212, United States
Importance of Fall Protection in Construction
Prevention Through Training
In Texas, construction remains a high-risk industry with frequent incidents of worker injuries and fatalities. The primary cause? Falls. Understanding why fall protection is crucial can save lives and prevent debilitating injuries.
Reduced Severity of Injuries
Even in the event of a fall, trained workers are better prepared to mitigate injury severity. Properly trained individuals are more likely to utilize safety equipment effectively and maintain awareness of their surroundings, which can minimize injury outcomes.
Cost Savings
Investing in fall protection training isn’t just about safety—it’s also a sound financial decision. By preventing falls, employers can avoid the substantial costs associated with lost productivity, medical expenses, and potential legal fees.
Training Opportunity
The RHCA Safety Council is offering free fall protection training across Texas, including the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Sponsored by the Susan Harwood Grant and conducted in collaboration with local safety experts, this training covers essential aspects such as identifying fall hazards, prevention strategies, and rescue procedures.
Details:
Language Options: Training is available in both English and Spanish.
Certification: Participants who complete the training receive a certificate of completion, demonstrating their proficiency in fall protection.

The program aims to support small to mid-sized firms in creating structured, impactful internship opportunities that foster the development of future industry professionals.
Program Objectives

Bridge Classroom Learning and Field Application: Internships allow students to apply academic concepts in real-world settings, gaining valuable field-specific experience in AEC disciplines.
Support AEC Firms: Provide small and mid-sized companies with ready-to-use templates, guidance, and best practices for developing or enhancing internship programs.
Foster Career Pathways: Help students refine their career goals, gain confidence, and develop key professional skills through structured work experiences and mentorship.

RHCA’s Role in the Internship Program
The RHCA Foundation offers robust support to participating firms and interns, including:

Reviewing and screening candidates from a pool of RHCA Scholars and applicants.
Hosting cohort-building events to foster peer connections.
Organizing professional development workshops on topics such as emotional intelligence, accountability, and networking.
Providing ongoing mentorship and support to students during academic transitions.
