Ladder safety training online begins with a look at the laws that govern ladder safety, giving staff the legal grounding before moving into practical inspection and use.
The course explains how to check a ladder, and what a competent person looks at during a ladder inspection, so staff know what a proper check actually involves rather than a quick visual glance.
The course covers the different types of ladders you may come across in your role, and how they must be used, since not every ladder is suited to every task.
