Attention USACE Contractors: Is Your Fall Protection Competent Person Training Current?
For contractors working on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) projects, staying compliant with safety regulations is critical, especially regarding fall protection. If your team has completed the initial 24-hour Competent Person Fall Protection training, it’s important to remember that refresher training is not optional—it’s a requirement. According to ANSI Z359.2 (ver. 2023), the recognized standard for managed fall protection programs, refresher training must occur at specific intervals to ensure that knowledge and skills remain current.
This aligns directly with USACE district requirements, which mandate adherence to ANSI Z359.2 (ver. 2023) as part of EM 385-1-1 (ver. 2014 & 2024)compliance.
The ANSI Z359.2 standard outlines that fall protection Competent Person refresher training must be conducted at least every 2 years to maintain competence and ensure contractors stay up-to-date with new regulations, best practices, and equipment advancements.
USACE districts require contractors to meet these intervals, reinforcing the critical importance of fall protection competence to prevent incidents on federal job sites.
