FAQ

In construction, generally at 6 feet above a lower level (4 feet in general industry; other triggers apply for specific work). This course covers the construction trigger and systems.

Someone the employer designates who can identify fall hazards and has authority to correct them. The course explains the role; formal designation is your employer's decision.
