Ontario Working at Heights Requirements
Ontario General Construction
Why it matters
Ontario requires approved Working at Heights training for construction workers using fall protection - fines and stop-work orders follow missing cards.
Key points
- WAH training from a CPO-approved provider, refreshed every 3 years.
- Guardrails are the first choice; travel restraint before fall arrest.
- Fall protection plan required where workers may fall 3 m or more.
- Equipment inspection before each use; remove damaged gear from service.
- Rescue plan: hanging in a harness becomes fatal in minutes - who gets you down?
Discussion
Check cards: is everyone's WAH training current? What is our rescue plan?
