Ladder & Stepladder Awareness Training

Course Details

Safe working environments are a fundamental right and essential for all workers. Ladder & Stepladder Awareness training equips individuals with an understanding of the laws and regulations concerned with using access equipment at work.

Ladder & Stepladder Awareness training is suitable for anyone who regularly completes low-risk, short-duration jobs at height for work. On the course, you will learn how to determine what is the correct access equipment to use, how to inspect ladders and step ladders before and after use, and how to correctly position and use the equipment. No previous training is required.

We hold all courses at one of our cooperating training centres. However, we can provide this training at your premises or on-site for larger groups.
