enthaltenThis microlearning course helps employees safely select, inspect, set up, and use ladders in the workplace. Designed for those in maintenance, construction, manufacturing, and facility operations, the training addresses how to match ladder type and duty rating to the task, assess environmental risks, and inspect equipment before use. Learners will understand how to stabilize ladders on uneven surfaces, apply the 4:1 angle rule, and maintain safe distance from electrical hazards. Clear video demonstrations reinforce safe climbing practices, including three points of contact, proper tool handling, and the importance of repositioning ladders rather than overreaching. Ideal for workers who use ladders regularly or occasionally, this course promotes hazard awareness, fall prevention, and safe work habits in compliance with occupational safety standards.
