Falling Objects (CAN)

Tools, materials, and loads stored or moved overhead are a normal part of nearly every worksite, from construction and warehouses to plants and well sites. But gravity turns even a small dropped object into a serious or fatal hazard for anyone below, and these incidents remain among the most common causes of injury on Canadian sites. Through hazard recognition, drop zones, securing tools at height, safe stacking and load handling, head protection, and clear reporting, learners gain the habits needed to stay clear of falling objects and avoid creating them for others.

About This Course

Falling objects are one of the most common causes of serious workplace injury in Canada, and not just in construction.

By the end of this course, learners should be able to:
  • Define falling object hazards and explain why height makes any object dangerous, no matter how small
  • Describe the duties of employers, supervisors, and workers under Canadian law
  • Recognize drop zones and explain the rules for suspended loads

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
