Fall Protection Plan templates

We have provided links to provinces that provide sample fall protection plans through their government and/or occupational health and safety websites. If your province is not listed, another provinces example can be used as a template to assist you in developing your own plan.

All plans should be developed to reflect the specific work you are doing. The templates provided should only be used as a guideline.
