This Ladder Safety training online course provides learners with an understanding of the sensible precautions they should take to keep safe when they use ladders and stepladders in the workplace.
Falls from height are the highest cause of fatal injury in the workplace. Falls from a ladder account for around 40% of all falls-from-height accidents each year. Serious or fatal injury can occur even when the fall is less than 2 metres.
The law requires employers to take reasonable steps to safeguard the health and safety of all employees. This includes raising awareness about the risks of working at height.
The approximate duration of this training course is 1 hour.
Who is Ladder Safety training for?
All employers need to comply with the risk assessment requirements in the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Employers need to carry out a risk assessment on working at height tasks as specified in the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

The topic covers when you should check a ladder and pre-checks for both leaning ladders and step ladders. The topic also outlines HSE guidance on ladder use.

The importance of Ladder Safety Awareness training
In the workplace each year ladders account for around 40% of falls-from-height accidents. Ladder safety training reduces the risk of ladder-related injuries. Employees who understand the risks of ladders and working at height can minimise the risk of falls and injury. Your business will also benefit from a well-trained workforce. Your staff will appreciate your investment in their health and education. This will lead to fewer staff injuries and higher productivity.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is a piece of legislation which places a wide range of duties on an employer. The employer must take all measures “so far as is reasonably practicable” to prevent or reduce risk in the workplace.
As well as it being the law, it is part of being a good employer to make sure your workers are not at risk of any injury due to the work they do for you. Research shows that workers are more productive in workplaces committed to health and safety. Health and Safety training reduces downtime caused by illness and accidents, which leads to less disruption in the workplace, saving your business money.
Scheduling a training session is harder than it sounds. With various roles at a company, you’ll find that staff are often on different timetables. This makes it hard to slot in a time that’ll suit all parties.
