Our Ladder Safety training course helps employees understand how to select, inspect, and safely use ladders in compliance with OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910.21-26 (general industry) and 29 CFR 1926.1050-1060 (construction). Ladders are an extremely handy tool both at work and at home — used for tasks like changing light bulbs and painting, or reaching elevated work areas on the job. However, ladders also present significant safety hazards such as electrocution or falls. Falls are the leading cause of death in the construction industry, and ladder misuse is one of the leading causes of fall-related injuries every year. These hazards can be eliminated or substantially reduced by following good safety practices. While many types of ladders and devices exist — portable ladders, fixed ladders, step stools, combination ladders, and shelf ladders — this course focuses primarily on portable ladders, the type most commonly used across industries. Available in English and Spanish.
