Why is Ladder Safety Training important?
Using the wrong ladder, placing it on an unstable surface or overreaching can lead to falls and serious injuries. Ladder safety training helps employees recognise these risks and understand when a ladder is suitable and when a safer method of access is needed. This awareness supports better decisions before work begins and safer habits during everyday tasks.
Important: awareness training only. This online course does not, on its own, establish competence to work at height or use access equipment. It should be supported by practical instruction, supervision and any additional training appropriate to the equipment and tasks involved.
