HBI Plumbing Instructor, Jim Cook, led a class on fall protection. The class was held on March 8th and students from all of the hard trades vocations had the opportunity to attend. Students learned the proper way to protect themselves from falls when working from heights. They learned the correct way to wear a harness and lanyard. All students were tested by having to wear the harness and hang 3 inches above a platform in air to get the feeling of a harness in use. All students would tell you that it was very uncomfortable, but it is better than taking a fall.
