About This Ladder Safety Course

This online Ladder Safety Training course provides vital information that anyone working with ladders needs to be aware of. Trainees learn how to select, set up and work from ladders safely, including pre-use checks. They also learn how to assess ladder work and store and transport ladders to ensure they are maintained in good condition.

The course comes with a free ladder safety e-Checklist. Users can follow the e-Checklist to ensure ladders are set up and used according to best practice.

Why Is Ladder Safety Training Important?

Unsafe use of ladders is a common cause of severe or even fatal workplace accidents. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), around 8% of all reported workplace injuries are the result of a fall from height, most commonly a ladder.

Human error is one of the most common causes of these accidents involving work at height. By being aware of the hazards and using the correct controls, employees can minimise the risk of injury.

Ladder safety training for workplaces equips individuals with essential knowledge on selecting the right ladder for the task, inspecting it for defects and safely positioning it to prevent falls. It teaches workers how to use a ladder safely and avoid accidents and injuries caused by slips, trips or falls from heights.

Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?

Employers have a legal duty to ensure workplace ladder safety. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work 1999 regulations require employers to identify and control workplace risks, including the risk of working at height. Under these regulations, they must also provide adequate training to employees.

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998 requires employers to ensure all work equipment, including ladders, is suitable and in good working order.

Additionally, the Work at Height Regulations 2005 provides specific guidelines for setting up, placing and storing ladders to ensure safe use.
