FallTech Transforms Safety Training with FT-Xpert

FallTech announced the launch of FT-Xpert, a training program designed to elevate safety education across industries. FT-Xpert is a comprehensive, learner-centric program built for today’s workforce and tomorrow’s safety demands.

Typical fall protection training relies on a one-size-fits-all model, requiring workers to sit through the same 16-hour Competent Person course regardless of their actual role. While these courses are designed for supervisors, they pack in a wide range of technical details that the average worker may never apply. As a result, organizations overload employees with material they don’t need, wasting time and resources — losses made even worse when turnover forces them to repeat the cycle with new hires.

Many workers would be better served with focused, job-specific courses that cover only the knowledge essential to their responsibilities. 

FT-Xpert reshapes how organizations approach fall protection training by offering flexible, role-specific courses tailored to real-world job functions. From general Authorized Person training to advanced Competent Person and Equipment Inspector certifications, FT-Xpert delivers smarter, more targeted instruction aligned with standards from ANSI and OSHA.

“FT-Xpert fills a critical gap in modern fall protection education,” says Marty Lalonde, FallTech director of training. “It gives learners the most current safety instruction on their terms, with flexible schedules, nationwide access, and role-specific courses. This is the future of safety learning.”

FT-Xpert includes both direct training and a Certified Trainer Program — a turnkey system that enables qualified safety professionals to deliver in-house, expert-level education. This scalable model includes professional curriculum, trainer guides and a robust Learning Management System that streamlines administration and tracks certification progress. FallTech says this empowers organizations to take control of their safety programs while reducing dependency on external training providers.

The Certified Trainer Program supports consistent, compliant instruction across teams and sites — helping build a culture of safety, efficiency, and confidence from the ground up. For more information, visit falltech.com.
