Description
Ladders, including leaning ladders and stepladders, are a sensible choice for low-risk jobs that don’t take a long time. But to avoid accidents, you need to use the right equipment in the correct way.
This course will explain when you can use a leaning ladder or stepladder, and how to select, transport and use them safely.
Ladder Safety covers the selection, checking, setting up, handling and use of ladders. It does this using a positive story of ladder use in the workplace to increase engagement, and using the mnemonic ‘JOLLY’ to support retention of the key learning objectives.

The course does not cover the use of fall arrest systems.
