Faller  Re-certification
Workplace regulations require valid certification to work as a faller in BC as set by Worksafe BC regulations. Employers and workers must ensure that an employees certification is up to date, before they work. The CAGC requires that fallers re-certify every five years to ensure faller’s remember all safe work procedures. If you need to be re-certified contact your employer or prime contractor or contact RIT services to book a time for re-evaluation. Re-certification can help a faller re-establish themselves with safe work procedures and clean-up any bad habits they may have developed. 

Faller Audits & Mentoring
RIT services provides fallers with field audits and mentoring. Faller audits help fallers that have developed bad habit over the years. These audits ensure that companies are doing their due diligence in helping employees improve their falling abilities. Post-audit, a report will be provided which the company can put with their safety documentation for future use. These audit can be tailored to the needs of your company. If a faller needs help meeting WorkSafe BC regulation procedures, mentoring can be provided.
