Workplace Safety: Using Ladders Safely Training Course

Is it really that bad to stand on the top step of a ladder if you’re only going to be there a few seconds? The short answer is, yes. The long answer is covered in this training.

Ladders are one of the most common tools used across industries. From the shortest step stool to the tallest scaffold, safety must be the priority. It’s important to understand the type of ladder in use for a given application, and how to properly use it. 

This training will include:
