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 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.

Your staff will appreciate your investment in their health and education. This will lead to fewer staff injuries and higher productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the training course covers the common types of portable ladders and steps, this includes: kick stools, steps, a-frame stepladders, platform stepladders, combination ladders, telescopic ladders, pole ladders and extension ladders.
There is no strict legal requirement, however we recommend to refresh your training every 2 years. This is due to the increased risk of injury or death while working at height. You should also refresh your training if there’s a change in equipment, work environment, or legal standards.
