NO. OSHA does not require annual fall protection training. However, per 29 CFR 1926.503(a), employers must provide fall protection training to workers exposed to fall hazards. The training should help workers recognize fall hazards and follow appropriate safety procedures to mitigate them.

Retraining is required when there are significant changes in workplace conditions or when an employee’s performance suggests they have not retained the necessary knowledge. This is outlined in 29 CFR 1926.503(c).

Employers should ensure that training is revisited when needed, and though there is no fixed requirement, it is typical to undergo retraining approximately every two years.

Fall protection training is generally valid until conditions in the workplace or employee performance necessitate retraining.
 
According to 29 CFR 1926.503(c), retraining is required when:
  • There are changes in the workplace that present new fall hazards.
  • New fall protection systems are implemented.
  • Employee performance indicates they did not retain the sufficient understanding of fall protection practices.


While OSHA does not set a fixed expiration date for fall protection training, employers must ensure that workers are retrained whenever it is necessary to maintain safety and compliance. This typically leads to retraining approximately every two years.​

OSHA requires fall protection training for workers at heights of 6 feet or more for construction. However, this can fluctuate depending on the industry with a limit of 5-8 feet.

The 24-hour fall protection training focuses on OSHA standards for general fall safety, while the 24-hour EM 385-1-1 training covers the specific fall protection requirements set by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which may include additional or more comprehensive safety measures.
