CPD & RoSPA Accredited Ladder Safety Training

In the UK, falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities, accounting for around a quarter of all deaths at work. Every year, over five thousand people suffer serious injuries due to falls, with a significant number of these incidents involving the incorrect use of ladders.

Ladders and stepladders are a sensible and practical choice for low-risk, short-duration tasks. However, ensuring they are the right tool for the job—and that they are used correctly—is vital for personal safety.

This course uses a positive, engaging narrative and the memorable ‘JOLLY’ mnemonic to help learners retain essential safety protocols. From selection and inspection to handling and setup, this training provides the fundamental knowledge required to work safely at height.
