About this course

Protect your drivers by taking the Two Row fall protection course, designed specifically for the trucking industry.

​The top three leading causes of work-related injuries account for more than 85 percent of all nonfatal injuries involving days away from work, according to the National Safety Council's Injury Facts.
​
  1. Overexertion and bodily reaction
  2. Contact with Objects and Equipment
  3. Slips, trips and falls

In each case, the transportation and warehousing industry is most at risk with typical lost time of 5 to 12 days.

Drivers can be seriously injured even by a fall of a short distance, such as slipping on a metal dock plate or jumping from the back of a trailer. Drivers can also face long-term injury resulting from repetitive stress on joints caused by such actions as jumping down from a cab or trailer.
This course has been designed to offer insight into the most common fall hazards in the transportation sector. Explore the best equipment options available today - allowing employers to create a fall prevention program to protect all workers.
