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

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 should 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.

There are no formal requirements for this course.
We also ask that you have a good level of speaking and understanding English.
