Safe Use Of Ladders & Step Ladders Course

The Safe Use Of Ladders & Step Ladders course ensures that you are competent and safe when using a ladder or step ladder.

The knowledge you gain will help keep yourself and others safe from falling from height and ensure that you are working legally on site.

Why Take the Safe Use Of Ladders & Step Ladders Course?

Ladder and stepladder users and anyone who needs to know the risks associated with ladder/stepladder use should attend this course.

Ladders account for around 40% of falls from height accidents in the UK. The knowledge that you gain will help prevent you or anyone you are working with from becoming part of that statistic.

You will also leave the course with knowledge of Work at Height Regulations 2005 and work in compliance with it. Selecting the right ladder for the right task doesn’t necessarily aid safety, but it aids productivity.

You will learn about ladder inspection and selection on the course, which will help maintain efficient work that you usually hinder by wrong ladder selection or broken ladders. Overall, this course equips participants with the essential knowledge and skills to promote ladder safety in the workplace.
