Falls from height continue to be a leading cause of workplace fatalities, particularly in high-risk industries such as construction, mining, and transport. Despite years of regulatory efforts and training programs, fall-related incidents remain alarmingly high. The Working at Height Association (WAHA) is taking decisive action to address this persistent issue with the launch of the WAHA Falls Prevention Program – an innovative initiative designed to bridge the gap between compliance and true competency.
Developed in collaboration with Area9 Lyceum, Programmed, and John Holland Group, and supported by leading industry associations, this program introduces AI-driven adaptive learning to height safety training. Unlike traditional training models, which often focus on compliance over competency, the WAHA Falls Prevention Program leverages real-time data and personalized learning paths to ensure workers develop, retain, and apply critical safety knowledge effectively.
Key Features of the Program:
✅ AI-Powered Adaptive Learning – A personalized training experience that adjusts in real time based on individual learning needs.
✅ Competency Verification – A structured approach to assessing and reinforcing height safety knowledge, ensuring workers are genuinely capable, not just compliant.
✅ Industry-Wide Collaboration – Developed with input from major safety stakeholders to align with real-world operational needs.
✅ Measurable Impact – Early results show a significant reduction in knowledge gaps, directly improving workplace safety outcomes.
This initiative is more than just another training program – it represents a paradigm shift in how we approach fall prevention through competency verification. By integrating technology, behavioural science, and industry expertise, we are setting a new standard for safety training that saves lives and fosters a proactive safety culture.
