🌎 National Program Mobility:

As part of ACTI’s national safety training initiative, this Fall Protection program is designed to support workers across all provinces and territories in Canada. The base course provides a consistent standard that meets the core requirements of CSA Z259 and national OH&S expectations, offering a strong foundation for safe work at heights anywhere in the country.

To ensure full compliance with jurisdiction-specific legislation, ACTI offers optional add-on modules tailored to the unique fall protection regulations of each province and territory—including Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and the northern territories. These modules align with local OH&S Acts, Codes, and safety enforcement standards, giving workers and employers confidence in meeting all site and legal obligations.

This modular system allows workers to remain fully certified and mobile across Canada, simply by completing the regional module relevant to their work location. It also helps employers maintain compliance while reducing the need for redundant retraining.
