Course Overview

Ladder-related incidents are often caused by misuse, exceeding weight limits, or improper setup.

Learners will explore how to properly select a ladder based on type, material, and load capacity, while also understanding the importance of stable placement and safe working conditions. Key considerations such as avoiding electrical hazards, ensuring proper ladder height, and maintaining a firm, level surface are emphasized throughout.

The course also focuses on safe climbing techniques, including the three-point-of-contact method, which significantly reduces the risk of falls. Learners will gain practical knowledge on maintaining balance, avoiding overreaching, and using proper posture while ascending or descending.

No Worries. Here’s Some Helpful Info.

What is the three-point-of-contact rule?


It means keeping two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand on the ladder at all times.


Why shouldn’t you stand on the top rung of a ladder?


It reduces stability and increases the risk of falling.


Can more than one person use a ladder at the same time?


No, unless it is specifically designed for multiple users, like certain scaffolds.


When should you avoid using a ladder?


Avoid use during high winds, storms, or if you feel dizzy or unwell.


What safety system is required for tall fixed ladders?


A personal fall arrest system (PFAS) is required for ladders over 24 feet.


Disclaimer: OSHA has several regulations around both portable and fixed ladders. The employer must ensure that ladder usage meets the material requirements, situation-appropriate, and equipment maintenance expectations under standards 1926.1053, 1910.22(d), 1910.23, and 1910.145 - along with other relevant standards. Ladders are to be used only for the purposes for which they were designed, must be inspected before use, and be regularly checked for defects and damage - and removed from service as necessary. This module does not, and is not intended to, replace OSHA standards or other ladder safety requirements. The content of this training is for general informational purposes only.
