Safer ladder use through proper inspection
This ladder inspection training course covers how to use a ladder safely and how to inspect one for damage before use. Content includes a basic overview of health and safety law, accident data, the hierarchy of working at height, risk assessment, and carrying out formal ladder inspections. Delegates also cover how to care for and store ladders so equipment remains safe in service for longer.
