Ladder Safety

One in three reported accidents involve a ladder so their safe use is very important.

In this Ladder safety course, you will learn about the checks you should make before using a ladder, how to minimise the risks when using a ladder, and how to maintain and store them correctly. This will enable you to identify if a ladder is the right equipment for the job, select the correct type of ladder and reduce the risks to the health and safety of you and others when ladders are being used.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course you will have learned about:

• Selecting the correct ladder
• Ladder safety checks

Assessments

This course contains online self assessments after each module and an online certification exam at the very end. The self assessments do not count towards the final examination marks but simply give you an idea of how you are doing. On successfully passing the final certification exam you will be issued with a certificate.

Duration & Other information

You do not have to complete the online course in one sitting and you can also break it into small chunks if you wish. Should you have to leave the course unexpectedly, it will remember where you were the last time you left it. How long it takes you to complete the online course in Ladder Safety really depends on you but 30 minutes is a good guideline.
