About this course
Falling from a height is incredibly common and incredibly dangerous, and at least a third of all fall injuries involve ladders. This makes them one of the largest causes of accidents and injuries - both in the workplace and at home; Ladder Safety Training is therefore essential.
You don’t need to be formally qualified to use a ladder, but you do have to be competent. This Ladder Safety Course has been created to help strengthen the necessary skills and knowledge you need to use ladders safely.
There are various types of ladder and you need to make sure that you are picking up the right one for the situation. As well as the set up of a ladder, you'll also need to consider how you dismantle and carry them from location to location.
It’s split into four short sections, with each one looking at the Ladder Safety Steps – Ladder Selection, Ladder Pre-Check, Ladder Setup and Ladder Use.
This Ladder Safety Training can be used in conjunction with our Working at Height Training.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
Work at Height Regulations 2005 (WAHR)
Brought in to prevent deaths and injuries caused by falls from height. Employers and anyone in control of work carried out at height need to make sure that work is properly planned, supervised and more importantly, carried out by competent people.
Employees have general legal duties to take reasonable care of themselves and others who may be affected by their actions, and to co-operate with their employer to enable their health and safety duties and requirements to be complied with.
