Ladder Safety
Ladder Safety
This course provides essential information on ladder safety, including selecting the right ladder, inspecting it for defects, setting it up properly, and using it safely. By understanding the different types of ladders, their appropriate uses, and best practices for ladder safety, participants will be equipped to prevent falls and injuries in the workplace.
Ladder Safety: 02. Positioning and Climbing Ladders
Accurate ladder positioning is imperative for its safe use. It first must be stable and secure. So in this course, we'll discuss how to inspect, set, and raise a ladder correctly and safely. We'll go over how to properly climb a ladder and cover some ladder safety dos and don'ts. Before you set and climb a ladder, you should be familiar with the components of ladders and the different types available, so be sure to watch this series in order.
Ladder Safety: 03. Storing, Carrying, and Transporting Ladders
Have you ever been driving and had to swerve to avoid a ladder in a lane of traffic? When talking about ladder safety, transporting may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But, it is one of the most critical components to working with ladders because it puts other drivers at risk. Another piece that's often forgotten is the importance of storing a ladder properly to protect it from the elements and keep it from falling when not in use. Even carrying a ladder can be hazardous to you and others. That's what this course is all about. These less obvious, but equally important essentials in ladder safety.
