Choose the right ladder, check it, set it up correctly and use it safely. Simple habits that prevent some of the most common serious injuries in the trades.

Falls from ladders remain one of the most common causes of serious injury at work, and almost every one of them is preventable. This course covers the simple, practical habits that keep you on the ladder and off the accident statistics.

You will learn how to choose the right ladder for the task, carry out pre-use checks that take a minute and can save your life, and set up on firm, level ground at the correct angle. We cover safe climbing and working practices, the three points of contact rule, common misuses to avoid, and when a ladder is the wrong tool for the job altogether under the Work at Height Regulations.
