IFPS 2010 is geared toward educating anyone concerned with fall protection programs, including managers, safety and insurance adminstrators, legal staff, engineers, labor representatives, trainers, standards-setting personnel and academics.

It will provide two tracks that allow attendees to learn more about new and emerging fall protection issues.

Presentations will cover engineered system design, models for fall arrest testing, preventing a catapulting event in an aerial work platform and industrial rope access techniques plus more.
