Falls from a ladder can happen at any time. And the results can be disastrous. Accidents involving ladders can result in life-changing injuries for those involved and significant time off of work, as well as extensive costs to an employer.
This course ensures legal compliance as outlined under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998. These include requirements to ensure all work equipment such as ladders is subject to regular inspections and suitable for use.
Why Is Ladder Inspection Training Important?
Employers have a legal duty to ensure work is properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent employees to prevent accidents from heights. They must also ensure the equipment they use is adequate.
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 is the main legislation related to work at height, and it covers the use of ladders and stepladders. This law states that every employer must ensure that equipment that may deteriorate is subject to regular inspections. They must also be inspected anytime something occurs that may affect their safety.
PUWER provides similar guidance as to the Work at Height Regulations. Under this law, any ladders supplied for work must be suitable, fit for purpose, maintained, and inspected to ensure that they remain fit for use.

To ensure, ladder inspections should be conducted systematically in accordance with manufacturer guidelines and applicable safety regulations. Ladder inspection checklistscan be used to help facilitate this process. If any defects or concerns are identified, the ladder should be taken out of service and tagged as unsafe until repairs or replacements are made. Regular inspections, maintenance and proper storage are crucial for ensuring ongoing ladder inspection and functionality.
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 is the primary legislation pertaining to ladders in the UK. These regulations establish requirements and guidelines for the safe use of ladders and other means of working at height.
Key provisions include ensuring risk assessments are completed for any work at height, appropriate ladder selection, adequate training and supervision, condition and correct usage of ladders. Where possible, work at height should be avoided. Compliance with these regulations is necessary to ensure worker safety when using ladders in the workplace.
Ladders must be inspected by individuals that are suitably competent to do so. Under Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, this means you must have the necessary training, skills and experience to do the job to an adequate degree. If an employer is not suitably competent to conduct inspections, they can appoint someone to do so for them. Competence can be gained through on the job experience and completing training such as our online ladder inspection training course.
Ladder inspection training courses are beneficial for individuals who have responsibilities related to safety and maintenance, including:
No, ladders do not fall under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) in the UK.

If LOLER does apply to your operations, our LOLER training course is designed to ensure duty holders meet required standards.
