Workplace Safety: Using Ladders Safely Online Interactive Training

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:

• Types of ladders

Misusing or using the wrong ladder can lead to injury. Ladders come in a variety of sizes, material, and ratings. Ensure the correct ladder for the job is being used prior to climbing.

What types of ladders do you use in your place of work? What safety requirements are you already aware of? Are you in compliance and are you working safely? We will first explore the different types of ladders you might come across, and then we will take a deeper dive.
